Topspeed, on the other had, is the main tool we use for writing > Novell utilities! If you use LANS at your school, go for Topspeed. We use Logitech's compiler on PC's attached to a LAN. This is a TCP/IP based LAN, where the PC's run SUN's PC-NFS and the student's files are maintained on a UNIX server (which means that students can log in from home and edit, even if they can't compile on the server). The NFS device driver uses too much memory to allow the use of the "Point" editor, but otherwise the students are quite happy with this setup. We have them use the MKS "vi" editor on the PC. On our campus, Novell LANS are confined to the administration, so we academics have no experience with them. Guess that what is best depends on your circumstances. ... stuff deleted ... > > Joi Ellis > msjle@ecncdc > SRP - WIU
