Seems that I have to start installing Win3.1/Opera/Edoura to my friend's 386. Never tell anybody you know anything about computers, or you are lost forever :( Who can nowadays remember, how this little Trumpet Winsock work?
Gnome print RGB(A) buffer can render text and clip at last. Still no clipping of bitmaps - it must wait, until I'll get Eudora running.
