I understand they are "better", but what does that REALLY mean? Is is faster? smaller? prettier? I assume I would still be using IBM's X11R3 server, so I would not be getting the X11R4 server improvements and extensions? Most important, are these advantages important enough that I can lose IBM's support for bugs. Right now when I have an X or Motif bug, I report it to IBM and they eventually will get fixed. IBM's support may not be the fastest, or best, but it is a lot better than not having it. Eddy -- ************************************************* * Eduardo R.
