It runs fine, but if you start more than a couple of windows it will slow down almost to a halt. I tryed running XV and it really slowed things down. My question is how much memory is needed to run this beastie efficiently? I tryed running the XS(?) server, which the readme said was quicker, but it didn't do anything. Also, does anyone have XView available as binaries only for 386BSD? I would love to play with it, but only have a 100meg disk (which is currently 84% full). I've found gwm and have twm, but would like to try olwm. Thanks! -Rich --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard P.
