Yup!  Now just to handle device-arbitration and everything's perfect :)
[Now working on just that.  have a primitive one already and just going to
add a few toys]

So - is it possible to control how memvisual handles keyboard/mouse/etc?
as in - if some environment value is set (or a parameter), read from a
pipe (of some kind) or set of pipes [keyboard, mouse, ...]

ideas?  EvStack would have made this lots easier but that's life...
(incidentally this -is- one of GGI's weak areas.  And afaik hasn't been
touched because it's "fixed by EvStack"(tm) excuse me GGI Console :)
