That piece of software is great, it uses a lot of interesting tricks to work in such small memory footprint. Adam itself helped me to implement it on mi own pet OS Picix , for te PIC18 microcontrollers, and works very well. It almost fills a 10Base-T card, and the processor is only 8 bit and 40 mhz!
My thesis work is one of these thing, but run on a Pic 18f452 (1,5 Kb RAM, 32 Kb Flash, 10 MIPS, 10 ma) (9$ w/o the nic) and is a complete Preemptive Unix-Like OS, with tcp/stack, i/o redirection AND file system (of course). Maybe i will release it Open source, when i finish.
I am a Electronic Technic here in Argentina.
My ending project was exactly that, A osciloscope in a PC. In fact, by sofware you can also get a spectrum analyzer (16386+ bands, and a 3d one), and a function generator.
The harware was very simple: a R-2-R network and a comparator (LM311 if i remember) attached to a parallel port. It also has some Operational Amplifiers to support a voltage range of +/- 20 Volts, AC / DC
The software: named "WAVE" , all in C++, runs on a 386 with 2 MB of ram, but the 3D spectrum analyzer needs a pentium. Runs under DOS with its own Windows Manager. I can give it for free if someone wants it.
Limitations: The Parallel port has a 500Khz bandwidth, so you are limited to Audio frecuencies, with 10 samples per cicle. (Not much better that a Sound-Blaster) but that was cool back in the '96
A better aproach will be to program a Microcontroller (PIC 16F877 sure is the best choice) yo sure can get 10 Bits and 10 MHZ fron those little chips, and interface it with your computer by parallel port or something. Just an idea.
I have done Alpha transparency in win95/98/ME
Its slow, but easy, just copy the background bahind the window, draw you window in a memory buffer and make the alpha-blending by hand (in your code).
I have the delphi code too.
I forget to say: JAPPS is a SERVER not a client, still there are no client, except the default idle process, Its a "Webmasters" tool, the Central Server is available for download, the clients, well, that is what you can do...
sorry.
A week ago I set up the JAPPS (Java Applet Parallel Processing Server)download page, since then, there was 5 or 10 downloads, but nobody comments it, Is a good example of Distributed Processing OS, kinda Seti@Home, but multi-user, multi-Purpose system, and needs no instalation (Runs in a Browser). Please somebody make a DES-key Crack with it and send it to me:)

Mojo, is the archi-enemy in some x-men magazine, nobody hear about the mojo-verse, Mojo itself is a big fat and yellow monster that controls a entiry universe...kinda scary to see now a "mojo nation" that sucks ALL you resources...but is funny anyway;)
Thats the name of my new Distributed-OS-like OpenSource Projects.
If you want a easy way to get the CPU power of anyone that load your page, this system is out, and works. 100% java, 100% opensource, SQL support, etc.
Take a look at

I am working in a distributed system to make any java-capable browser to act as a node. And it can take any kind of process. And everyone can add their process simply telneting to the server. I am sending my work to the Argentinian Congress of Computer science ( http://www.unp.edu.ar/cacic2000 ) if anyone are interested, and can read spanish, the paper, in PDF format is at HERE when i finish it i gonna install somewere and try to post it here in/.

The Patagonia is strange enough?

The russians have the Metric System...when the English module get in orbit, that is really hard! ;) (sorry folks at Nasa you are doing a great job)
And works perfectly. see my post below. I going to release the server under GPL in a week or two.
