The CGA mode of a Wyse 99GT seems like it would be VERY useful in running
DOS graphics applications under Unix/Xenix-386 using either VP/ix or
Merge-386.  The problem is that no one seems to be thinking along these
lines or at least willing to talk about it.  

I talked to Locus and they have no near term plans for it.  I havn't
heard from Interactive Systems yet and Wyse doesn't have the foggiest
idea what I'm talking about.

Locus at least was willing to talk about writing a custom terminal
interface or with the proper link kit I might be able to write one myself.

Two questions:

	1.  Has anyone done anything about this or thought about it?

	2.  How do you use the CGA mode on the 99GT.  I can't get anybody at
	    Wyse to tell me about it.  I think it must be a well kept secret
	    inside Wyse  :-) .

Anyway I do have an application for such a thing so comments would be
appreciated.  The news connection here is iffy so please mail and I will
summarize for all concerned.

Many Thanks's
