Thanks for the project file.  I'll give it a try when I have time.  I'm eager to 
get back to Slate, but I'm busy with work for the client, even on the weekends.

I downloaded SDL_gfx-2.0.13.zip from 
http://www.ferzkopp.net/~aschiffler/Software/SDL_gfx-2.0/

and also a SDL_gfx.dll, but I don't recall exactly where I got it (it must be 
somewhere on the same site).  I haven't tested this dll with Slate, however.  I 
would like to know what you discover.  I should be able to restart my Slate work 
in about one month, perhaps sooner.
