The AT&T bell labs person who recommends the Blit successor, the DMD
5620, possibly doesn't know that at last word Teletype and AT&T
are (a) refusing to provide support for this terminal for any Unix
except system V on Vaxes, and (b) refusing to sell source code to the necessary
support code so there is every NO possibility of use under any other
Unix.  This terminal NEEDS this on-host support code to really use
its nice windowing features, so this "marketing?" decision cuts
out a great many users.  I wouldn't buy it.
