All the terminals listed HAD bitmapped graphics !!!  That is why I said
this it too loose a description.  If he wanted terminals with Raster Operations
built in (things like block moves, etc) THEN that is ANOTHER requirement.
The GraphOn GO-250 for instance, does have these operations.

I agree.  The AT&T 630 is a VERY nice terminal.  With the DMD programs
from the AT&T Unix(R) System Toolchest it is an AMAZING terminal.

(But I would still rather have a Sun 4/110 w/19" Color Monitor,
one of the nicest terminals around :-)
