UNCLE!!! You guys are doing a much better job than Saddam's Scuds... I agree... I reread the Dr.Dobbs article and I guess I didn't fully understand it the first time through... It is clear that Plan 9 allows for ALL parts of a local application to execute on the Gnot itself thus eliminating the need for network traffic on every keystroke or mouse movement... This will absolutely be better than the use of X-terminals in the present environment. I profusely apologize and I will retire this discussion to the archives of comp.arch... Thanx to all who replied... Jon Rosen
