Hi Robert,

Intially this interface was just a test to my graphics library. And i 
have to say it is a pleasure to navigate with the wheel :).

Bernard purpose to host the the gui projet to the ipodlinux site and i 
think it is the best solution. It have to some check and find that 
Amstrad cpc was a 4 colors computer maybe we could grab some free artworks.

A also try to port a cpc emulator but the result is awfull because i 
have to convert from 320x200x4 to 160x100x4 :) Maybe old-computer
has a 160x128 video mode  to port the emulator and having to a low cost 
a lot of games. A rogue game should be possible too... i'll have to 
check one :)

Any ideas of what function could be good, how to launch program from the 
GUI with arguments (for exemple by parsing the --help options to reteive 
the arguments and allow selection on it or by parsing the man page 
associated .... ). So their is a lot of work to do.

I'm currently thinking how to do a Menu-SubMenu system (like apple ipod) 
   which to store and launch the differents functions.

So, i 'll release everything as soon as possible, but i have to say that 
  i program like a "pig" and i'm a litlle shy to allow other ppl to view 
it :)

Cheers,
Damien.
