Glass takes a command line argument giving the magnification factor (defaulting to 1) and (in version 2.x) has a panel slider so you can change magnification on the fly. The version on the SUG tape is 2.1, I think. By the way, the sliders and other enhancements were done by Mark Weiser . -- Scott Schwartz schwartz@gondor.cs.psu.edu schwartz@psuvaxg.bitnet
