Perhaps a more accurate description is as follows: "Incredibly expensive Windowing terminal for Microsoft Windows". This is very much different from running the Microsoft Windows environment on top of Unix. Your product sounds a whole lot like that of Systime's ( strange, that name sounds like it came out of your address :^l ). There is nothing wrong with the systime product, it is very nice as far as Intelligent terminals go... Every company ought to sell one! Even Us :^l (ours is called Power Windows, based on the systime product, it was enhanced for use with Office Power OAS). Bob Thralls
