I think Doug Gwyn missed the point of the AT&T 5620 emulator request.
First, it would be useful to have the terminal end of "layers" running on an
AT&T PC 6300, even if each window were a full screen, just because of the
advantages of "layers" for some activities.  Surely the 6300 can handle that.

Second, there are some graphics programs, such as cip, where it is easier to
draw the desired figures than it is to write "pic" descriptions.  Surely the
6300 could provide a useful interface to "cip". 

None of this requires emulating the cpu chip in the 5620, just reproducing
some of the capability, as seen by the user, of the 5620.

Now once again, is anybody working on programs for the 6300 (or other IBM-PC
compatibles) that provide the terminal end of "layers", and that can
serve as a terminal for "cip"??

Thanks.
