SGI provides a fine implementation, but one should not forget from whence it came. It is quite possible to have X and NeWS at the same time. I am keying this in from such an implementation. NeWS may yet gain converts as folks bump up against X limitations. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Keith H.
