	The Window System was a GUI framework for djgpp by Malcolm Taylor, written in the mid-90s. I used it for my Mine Mayhem game (Minesweeper clone). Just purely out of curiosity (as I don't expect to ever get back to it) would anyone have the source? I believe the original author lost it, last time I got in contact with him.
