Amaya is probably better coded than Arena but has a little problem:
it requires the Motif library. Currently I know only one Motif-like
source code that could be ported: Lesstiff. I've tried to port
Lesstiff on the DJGPP with the result of a 14MByte libmotif.a file
and nothing working! Also Xmosaic requires Motif.
Arena doesn't and this is the only reason I chose it. The X stack
used is Arena over Xlibemu over GRX1.0 over DGJPP V1. The V2 caused
to many problems with TCP. Also GRX2.0 can't be used because we
don't have a paired Xlibemu. Also without Motif, Arena .EXE is
3.5MBytes (with -gcoff option, I don't know without).

Good luck,
