I wonder if it really makes sense - making text version of such a complex library. For me it is hard to imagine typical scenario where text support should be necessary.
99% of modern PC handle graphics - they don`t really need text mode support. Those who don`t (some kind of controllers or may be very special purpose computers) usually don`t have wide support for advanced character work (such as on-screen character attributes support) - so text version of library should be mostly unsupported.


Let me not agree with you. If you are working with Linux all the time, you just cannot do anything without text mode. X-Window + SSH are working at acceptable speed only if you have gigabyte network. Even in case of such combination TheIDE is not very fast, I would say it is somewhat slow. It is just not possible to use TheIDE over cable modem. Of curse, there is no such problem if you have a Linux desktop. No network. No SSH.

The only comfortable way for me to work in Linux is to use *vi*. I would use TheIDE just as a text editor, if I could adapt it to understand Makefiles. The build system of TheIDE, which I would like to use at home (in case if I can adapt it to my previous build system Smile ), is not that important at work, where I can use distcc against 6 servers with 8 CPU-cores each.
