The CGA mode of a Wyse 99GT seems like it would be VERY useful in running DOS graphics applications under Unix/Xenix-386 using either VP/ix or Merge-386. The problem is that no one seems to be thinking along these lines or at least willing to talk about it. I talked to Locus and they have no near term plans for it. I havn't heard from Interactive Systems yet and Wyse doesn't have the foggiest idea what I'm talking about. Locus at least was willing to talk about writing a custom terminal interface or with the proper link kit I might be able to write one myself. Two questions: 1. Has anyone done anything about this or thought about it? 2. How do you use the CGA mode on the 99GT. I can't get anybody at Wyse to tell me about it. I think it must be a well kept secret inside Wyse :-) . Anyway I do have an application for such a thing so comments would be appreciated. The news connection here is iffy so please mail and I will summarize for all concerned. Many Thanks's Larry Pajakowski ihnp4!tapa!larry (312)-937-1153
