<DIV>Michael, that sounds good.</DIV>
<DIV>Having browsed through available code, though, I find that I'll probably have to abandon this thing as I'm not enough of a programmer to manage it ...</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for all input on this subject! </DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> :</DIV>
<DIV>> : Is it possible to write a wrapper? A VDI driver which loads the GSX driver?</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>> Almost certainly not. That wouldn't give you:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thats not true because ...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> * Mouse movement/button callbacks</DIV>
<DIV>> * Timer callbacks</DIV>
<DIV>> * Bit-blitting</DIV>
<DIV>> * Loadable fonts</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>... the missing things can be done by the vdi driver, which uses the gsx</DIV>
<DIV>driver for things the gsx driver can handle. See the gsx driver like a</DIV>
<DIV>graphic library.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>> which I don't think can be implemented by any combination of GSX calls.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>They should not implemented by a combination of GSX calls, they can be</DIV>
<DIV>implemented in the driver which makes GSX calls.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Regards</DIV>
<DIV>Michael</DIV>
