Hi.  Some of you may recognize me (Dan Kelley) as someone who recently
asked the question "should I buy an Xterminal or a workstation".  The
answer, according to the net, was Xterminal.  I ordered one.  [To get
a copy of my summary of responses to my question, and my thought
process in deciding on an Xterminal vs workstation, just email me.]

Now, a second set of questions:
	(1) What software do I need? [for my NCD16 Xterminal tied to a
	    sun4/280)]?
	(2) Where do I get such software, given that I, like most
	    Canadians and Europians,  have no FTP access?
	(3) Specifically: where can I get xdvi, a tool to view .dvi
	    files made by TeX/LaTeX?
	(4) Would you, like me, like NCD to put GNUemacs (etc) on
	    their boot tape?

Thanks in advance.  I'll prepare a summary for posting in a week or
so, if anybody expresses interest.
