speaking of ecp8..  has it become freeware yet?  and if so could someone
please e-mail it to me or please post it?  thanks..

one package i'd like to see....  

I would love to see a library of routines... similar to the gs toolbox,
but much smaller (a subset of the toolbox) that would allow manipulation
of the apple 80 column screen (maye including videx videoterm colnes).
I've seen shrinkit, proterm, blu, etc.. all use different, but similar
windowing systems, but i would bet that the coding is totally
different..  Wouldn't it be wonderful to have some sort of standard
library?  This could even be distributed in binary form (not source)
with a small text file of entry points...  

does anyone see any promise in this sort of thing?
thanks for any feedback..
