Hi

I've been able to compile the Gargoyle version from wm vanvliet, and added a number of features:

- Move the window to the top, left position of the screen.
- Word autocompletion when the TAB key is pressed.
- Use of a modified version of xepdmgr to manage screen auto-update (fastest screen response than previous version).
- Added support por GLORB, ZBLORB file. To achieve this I've drop in the newest versions of GIT and GLULXE for Gargoyle.

It is a pleasure to play the games with the autocompletion feature (likewise DS-FROTZ). Now I want to add scribbles, because they are much needed to play properly this type of games. I was thinking in opening a new window for hand-writting and taking anotations and switch forth and back with the gargoyle window. Is there some tutorial about compiling a program with scribbles
support ?.

P.D.: Also i've compiled the newest version of Gargoyle(2009) and it is working under qemu using the vmware image found in this phorum. I did the proper modifications to the source code to add support to the iliad keyboard and to represeh the screen but in the real hardware the program refuses to boot. Can someone give me some guidance ?
