This should run SE & 4GL, I don't know about OnLine. This also works for xterm....... allegedly. In addition, there are drivers available to run ANY DOS program under Linux. Again.... allegedly. So I want to see every user running a 'slim' PC with FREE Linux on their desktop. (Dream, dream, dree ee eam) ;-) This just leaves them to buy application software. I'll keep you all posted if we ever get this working. > HTH. (And if I'm wrong, could somebody correct me... :) Always. ;-) Cheers, -- Mark. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Mark D.
