A beta-tester of sr 10.3 posted that it is possible to use 
X11 without DM anymore. If so, how do programs that depend 
on pads, work - if they work at all? I can probably live 
without /com/dspst and the like, but what about dde? 
Has it been adapted to work in an X only environment? Or
do you have to run DM support if you want dde to work?

Maybe Apollo should write a pad emulation for X. Just like
xterm for vt100 and xpcterm on some 386 boxes to emulate 
a PC console?
