Someone told me that when using 'xtex' via a 9600 baud slip connection to an NCD X terminal, it appears (by the way the output looks & timing etc) that all the characters (draw with XDrawString) are sent to the X terminal and clipped at the terminal, not by the xtex client. I.e. with a 2column TeX document & with part of the xtex preview window obscured (using a ViewPort), you see the left column drawn and then the right. There's a time delay such that it looks like the terminal is receiving the text for the non-visible portion of the window. Does this make sense? Seems kind of silly when connected to via 9600 baud modem. Dirk Grunwald -- Univ. of Colorado at Boulder (grunwald@foobar.colorado.edu) (grunwald@cs.colorado.edu)
