As far as the very beginning, it started from a discussion on USENET. Some people said it couldn't be done which inspired me to begin writing a loader. Another person (unfortunately I don't remember who) started to do the same thing at the same time. I don't remember the details, but my work became the base system that everyone adopted. Eric Youngdale contributed a substantial amount of code in the early days. Someone else took the lead on developing the windowing code. I don't remember who. Was that you, Alexandre or did you join in after that?
Yes that was me. I remember the first patch I did was a hack to tie together the loader you had written with the tcl/tk menu stuff written by Peter MacDonald so that the menudemo program worked. After that I set out to implement GDI to replace tcl/tk...
Nice to see you around again!
