I'm afraid my programming skills are not yet good enough to work on the Mac OS X GUI of Hatari (did no changes on the GUI of "Previous" yet). Also my time resources are somehow bound to "Previous". I'm still in the process of learning C and learning how hardware works (SCSI at the moment).

But if i do any change to "Previous" that could also help improving Hatari, i will of course share the code on this mailing list.
