Jerry, jerry - why the sarcasm? the man has a point - and don't trot out that old svgalib trick again! remember X is one thing, svgalib is another thing entirely.. you can't get around the fact that NT was designed as a single-user system, and lacks some very basic features that are a part of any real UNIX - though there are those who claim the bloated NT "kernel" is particularly rich in features.... jjs -- jjs@wintermute.ucr.edu / You can't figure out how to A linux machine! because a 486 / ACCELERATE your Windoze NT box? is a terrible thing to waste! / -9.8 m/s^2 works quite well!!!
