Hello Wilfred!

Yes. The use case is way out west on a deserted road looking at the ground. &-)
Plus see latter in this message.

Do you want me to test it? Link to the code?

It's a chicken & egg issue..

Magicka supports JAM but is no longer supported.
Talisman only supports squish, but is still supported!

Both compile and work on M68K Linux!
