Wow, I'd pretty much forgotten that - the website it was on has long
since gone, but the wayback machine still has it; I'm not sure I have
any local copies now though...!

That was a long time ago - I'm vaguely surprised (though pleased) that
it still works with fltk-1.4. That's backwards compatibility for the
win, right there!


I would love to see someone resurrect this as a modern GitHub project.

There may be enough people interested in this kind of capability that it could move from primitive to sophisticated fairly quickly.  We at least want to capture any tweaks required to get it build with modern FLTK and make it available without the internet archive's heroics.
