The SCUMM-VM works great apart from the sound problems which you know about. The lack of scaler isn't a problem as it is quite easy to change to a lower res (640x400) which makes the text easier to read. I've tried Monkey Island 1 & 2 (briefly) and Day of the Tentacle again briefly. Both look great. It has inspired me to try to compile some stuff myself. I randomly picked something from the Mint Todo list. I wanted an app rather than a util so I picked Gnuplot. How up-to-date is that Todo list ? Configure seems to work apart from some missing items. I've never got this far before. I tried make install and that fails but I am not 100% sure what the errors mean. It would be really nice if someonelse could have a go with gnuplot and give me a few pointers. It doesn't have to be gnuplot, anything would do. Regards, Peter
