I'm considerring switching from the DEC to the MIT because I want R4 features and don't like DEC's nonstandard font mechanism. I realize I'd be loosing Display PostScript--not a big deal to me at this point--but what about performance? Are there any other differences? Is this a good idea? -- Dave Sill (de5@ornl.gov) Martin Marietta Energy Systems Workstation Support
