:I've finally retired the CVS repository- I removed almost everyone's

Aaaaaarrrrgh!  So YOU'RE the one responsible for dumping over 200 messages
into my INBOX in one fell swoop! <grin>

Never mind - I suppose it's a sign of progress.

:I'm in the process of converting the CVS repository history to a
:subversion repository. It should be available soon at
:svn://svn.picogui.org. Thanks to Aidan Delaney for the hosting!

Great!  Good on you, Maynooth Computer Science department for hosting.

Thank flipping GOODNESS!  Auto* seems to have been causing a bit of trouble
recently among a number of projects, not just this set.

I look forward for a merge with the twin-work, not that it's ever going
to happen.  But! Twin is considering a driver for the framebuffer. If that
happens, then I gain graphics too!  Please, ecuse me for sounding like a
zealot. I just do most of my work in twin now.  A merge of the twin work with
the work picogui has ALREADY done in how to stick windows on screen could be
really worthwhile...however, I don't exactly know how picogui would benefit.

The twin environment has been an absolute boon to me for both its simplicity
and the fact it works in character mode. However, character mode is also
somewhat of a disadvantage.  Once their fb driver comes on stream, they can
REALLY consider how to put windows on a screen.  At this, picogui seems to
excel. If I could conceivably run twin within a picogui term, I'd be a happy
man...or even run picogui within a twin window too (not currently possible).

Incidentally, how far forward is the terminal support?  Is there something a
real beginner could do?

I'm sticking my hand up for SVM access.
