VICTORY!
I found two bugs in my graphics library having to do with propagation of alpha channels when doing pixel format conversions. Fixed.
I found the problem with my colors not getting rendered correctly. Had to do with confusing byte order issues, between my library (big endian pixels), and what's left of plutovg after my integration (little endian pixels) and then again when I'm rendering it to png to test. Finally, I was occasionally forgetting to update my color macros when I changed channel orders to compensate for little vs big endian. ARGH. I finally sorted it all out. It took me 3 days of banging on it. Good news is I eliminated all the byte swapping.
Now my stuff renders great, at least for one SVG document. The others aren't rendering at all but I've got a good foundation, and a reference implementation that's known good to check it against.

Thanks to all of you who responded to my original post.
I feel slightly more informed to ask a better question.
My domain name is pjksolutions.com
Jeremy Falcon informs me my domain is registered with Tucows
My email is hosted by webhosting.uk.com
I want rid of webhosting.uk.com
So my new question is:
How can I keep my domain email addresses e.g. pete@pjksolutions.com etc.. I have 6
but have them hosted by someone else
I also want the data from all accounts migrated - it's IMAP
Hope this is clearer
thanks

Never tried this, but here is how I would go about it. I assume you found a new DNS provider and mail host.
1. Register a new temporary domain with the new DNS registrar, say temppjk.com
2. Configure the new mail hosting server to accept mail to temppjk.com
3. In your mail client add the newly configured account and copy all mail from old account to the new one.
4. Transfer pjksolutions.com domain to new DNS registrar. The steps involved would be:
- notify your current registrar that you want to transfer.
- obtain from the the authorization transfer code (the EEP code)
- give this code to the new registrar to complete the transfer
5. Configure new mail hosting server to accept mail for pjksolutions.com
6. In your mail client transfer now the mail back from temppjk.com to pjksolutions.com
The only step I'm certain of, having tried it in the past is step 4 (DNS registrar transfer). For the rest, your mileage may vary.

Not to be that guy  , but just pointing this out to save him some headaches.... Depending on the host, they may provide him with one that's temporary without the need to buy a throw away domain.

You are right but if you choose a domain on on of the lower cost TLDs, a one year registration could be under 20$. Not a showstopper, me thinks.

That's why I said headache and not money. They could make him jump through hoops by having another domain in the mix.
Btw, made a typo... I said host when I meant domain. Still haven't had my coffee yet.

- Find a new host. Don't worry about a temp domain unless the host forces you to get one, and if they do... I'd find a different host. For the sake of this post, let's call the new host Pink Bunny.
- Configure email hosting over at Pink Bunny using IMAP. The host will most likely handle the MX records for you with one of their domains.
- Create a
pete inbox at Pink Bunny. - Using whatever email client you use, export everything in your
pete inbox at webhosting.uk.com. - Import it to your
pete inbox at Pink Bunny. - Tell webhosting.uk you want to transfer pjksolutions.com to Pink Bunny. If they talk about losing email tell them to stuff it because you live on the edge. Let any clients know your email may be down for a day or so while this happens. You'll probably need to initiate this at Pink Bunny too. There will be a section somewhere about transferring a domain to them.
- Once the transfer is complete, expect to wait up to 48 hour (rarely takes that long, but could) for DNS to propagate. Just don't be shocked if peeps have a problem emailing you for the next couple of days.
- Change the domain used for
pete over at Pink Bunny to pjksolutions.com. More MX fun again, but Pink Bunny will probably handle this for you. - After you confirmed the new email is working, shut down your webhosting.uk account and never look back.
If you wanna get fancy in the future so you'll have zero downtime for stuff like this, we can have that chat over a virtual ![Beer | [beer]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/beer.gif) .

Oh, keep in mind pete is just one inbox/email account. If you have several, you'll need to import and export all of them (assuming they're not just aliases). But, as long as they're all IMAP, no worries.

I recall a conversation I had, over lunch, with our last summer IT intern. He was helping with some web development.
As he said he was heading into his last year of a computer science degree, I asked him if he took any compiler design courses.
He said, "What do you mean, compiler?"
Turns out, I had to explain to him what a compiler does.
This makes me cry for the future of IT and development.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

As long as he didn't pretend to be an expert and was willing to learn, that's cool. Nobody knows everything and personality and willingness to learn says a lot. Learn him up and show him the way. Society and college has failed us, but we also failed the kids by being lazy parents (as a whole) and letting them rot in front of computers and TV their whole life. We were right there beside the kids rotting our minds too.
Which means, if it's going to get better in our lifetimes then it's up to us to fix it. Because by the time our generation is gone it'll be too late and humanity's down cycle will last much longer before we come out of it (we will, life is cyclical). So as long as he's not pompous and recognizes the things he doesn't know... there's hope. Guide the young padawan. If it's coming from a place of love, you'll make an impact on his life.
If he's one of them kids that thinks he knows everything because he learned one or two things that's a different story. But to be fair, I've seen that level of arrogance on CP with old farts. So arrogant ignorance isn't exactly exclusive to the younger generation.

So if you asked about the Dragon book he'd have assumed you meant Game of Thrones or similar!

I am rather proud to have read the Dragon book a rather terse tome a tough read at least up to the chapter re/ emitting code and to have performed all the exercises therein which is the only way I am confident of learning as I learned enough to implement an expression parser utilizing the work of Alan Holub. Only later did I learn I should have emitted code as running the parser w/o same was rather slow.
