    he provided a dodgy return address but this one
    amichail.icse2003@cse.unsw.edu.au
    from the project website seems to work

    i have set the Reply-To: as amichail.icse2003@cse.unsw.edu.au
    he is not subscribed to the list as far as i know so you will need to CC
    him and/or the list.

    Sincerely

    [can you please forward this to the appropriate person?]

    Hi,

    We are working on a design recovery tool for
    interactive graphical applications.

    See http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~drt

    Here are some screenshots of the prototype:

    We would like to support AbiWord.
    This requires a few things:

    * compiling with -g -finstrument-functions

    * linking with an additional object file for the tracer code

    * non-blinking cursors having color 254,1,1 (we can track the cursor
       that way in the screenshots to identify the user's focus;
       255,0,0 is likely to clash with other aspects of the display such
       as icons)

    Is it possible to provide this support in the configure scripts?

    Amir
