Thank you for doing this! I just used Winter to JB my Kindle PW4 running 5.17. All I really wanted was to be able to use pbchess and run interactive fiction like I did in the old days.... but pbchess apparently does not launch (needs to be recompiled perhaps?). But your Gargoyle build works great! Esp once I learned to do the two-finger tap to get the keyboard

Thank you!

Quick question: Where should I put games? in the extension/gargoyle/games folder, or looking at the startup shell script, it looks like the /IF folder ? Currently I have game files in the gargoyle/games folder, but each time I launch Gargoyle I have to navigate to that folder. Should I modify the startup shell script to have the games (or /IF) folder be the currently directory? Thanks for any suggestions.
