This allows the comma digit separator to work on the Spice series (e.g. 33C), and should be adequate for the 41C and Voyager series (e.g., 12C). Released version 0.33. The GTK+ portion of the display code still only deals with rectangles, which is less than ideal since it can't handle the usual six degree slant of seven segment digits, nor the proper segment shapes. I'll need to figure out an efficient way for the KML script to designate shape locations from an outside-the-background portion of the image. If it was an indexed-color image, I'd try just putting a single sample digit with all segments active into the image, and make each segment use a different color index. I haven't yet written the annunciator support. That's pretty similar to the segment support except that while each annunciator is associated with a digit, they all have unique images, and the locations aren't necessarily related to the digit position. It would be nice to find someone willing to port Nonpareil to Windows. Preferably using MingW and the Windows port of GTK+, but I'm not picky. I expect having a Windows binary release would make it a lot more popular. Eric
