Actually, I have completed a Windows '95 style GUI. If people want me to 
release it, email me and ask. I have been too lazy to put the finishing 
touches on it (like a Rom patch), but I may if people want it. It has 
password protection, shutdown, start menu, contrast control, displays 
memory free, battery power indicator and will have APD if someone tells 
me how to implement it. I will also probably add a Documents folder that 
will display the contents of text files, like Windows Notepad. It is 
currently about 2000 bytes...but will be a little smaller after final 
optimizations.

Email me if you want it released...
