Why another Hack for Logos: | I want to see a GNU Logo at my Palm, so I
tried the simple logohack.prc but it did a stack overflow
on the Palm Emulator.
Next I tried imgxhack. It worked well
but it had a proprietary format for the image database and
only a tool for MSWindows to create it.
So I started to develop a new logo hack. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
