Could be a bogus presumption at that. The blurb I got from a trade show here
says that it comes with X, Open Look, and CBM's own windowing system. It was,
of course, a preliminary document, and subject to change. It also mentioned
that since each screen (not slidable, but rotatable) was a separate logon, you
could have all four UIs running, the last being a straight tty thingy.
