I think so, too. Most of the old mine.el deals with things that are
simply not needed under XEmacs. I also think (part of) my
implementation is cleaner (the code which stuffs all the info into my
reworked annotations). But of course I'm biased, and then there is
enougth code which I hacked up between 4.00 and 12.00 o'clock (24 hour
format) today... This doesn't look that good for obvious reasons. :-)

I'll try. It's actually very easy with annotations to work with
"textual glyphs" instead of real pixmaps. The problem that's hard
to solve in a nice way is:

* mouse handling has to be replaced with cursor keys. _If_ I do this,
  I'll want it to work under X also which implies a whole set of
  additional glyphs (for marking the currently selected tile).

I'll look into this soon I hope

I'll try to. Regards,

PS: Did you actually try it yet or only seen the screen shot? I'm
interested if there are any problems with it so far.
