I have 2 questions for neters concerning uw and emacs: 1. What exactly is uw ? Is it a window manager ? Is it compatible with X window system version 11 ? If it is, can it run over dial-up phone line or does it need to have a high speed network to work ? 2. Is it possible to load a 6x10 font to be used with mg(micrognuemacs) or me(microemacs) (I have a ME version 3.9 that has 40 lines display on monochrome with font width of 8 pixels, and also a MG version 1a that can display 50 lines if I run "hi50.tos" first but the width of the character is 8 pixels so it is kinda hard to read). Better yet can proprotional fonts be used instead of monospaced fonts. I realised that it is hard to used get a font with width of 6 to work with TOS (since 640 divided in to 6 is 106. something) but is it impossible? Thanks in advance for any helpful information, Hai PS: I guess that was more than 2 questions...

One end runs on the UNIX host, one end runs on your ST. You can, of course, switch between your different shells at will. I've never used it myself, since I can't get a System V version of uw. -- Bill Wisner, HASA "A" Division ..{codas,ihnp4}!killer!billw "I don't mind at all.." -- Bourgeois Tagg
