Will do...I tried building the code (is it as simple as using sqFbWindow.c
instead of sqXWindow.c in the Makefile?) and it didn't compile properly
due to some odd ftell() and fseek() prototype mismatches.

I'll spend some more time on it tonight (hopefully) and see how it goes.
One thing, however: the code seems to reference an include that
no longer exists in the 3.0 VM source, namely sqUnixInternalPlugins.h.
I have this file in my 2.9a source code...is it no longer needed?
