I haven't seen any license information that says that is possible... so until/unless I contact the orginal authors and get their permission to release their (ported by me) library code for others to use, I would be the only one who could compile it. I believe I could release binaries created with their library, but that isn't much good to you. Better to wait until others (such as Christian Kruger) have finished their work on a real lynx target I think. ¯ Shawn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list send mail to majordomo_at_musoftware.de with the string "unsubscribe cc65" in the body(!) of the mail.
