This would be wonderful. But I sure have no advice how to do it. I had an old man's big Linux day, today. I got the (German maintained) XForms-toolkit Colorbrowser demo working on (German) Opensuse 12.2 using a (Dutch) FreePascal translation of the C library. A very interactive XWindow program. The XForms Image Library is similarly incredible. I just bored the wife how I worry we are descending into an angry, incompetent society. Tomorrow I take some power supplies with bad capacitors to a MSWindows PC shop to see if he can learn to repair circuit boards; at least he is interested in trying. You can almost start a car on that 12 Volt power. But going into the city is a challenge. One city computer event I attended I begged my way out of a ticket for unknowingly parking in a handicapped spot.
