Hi. Some of you may recognize me (Dan Kelley) as someone who recently
asked the question "should I buy an Xterminal or a workstation". The
answer, according to the net, was Xterminal. I ordered one. [To get
a copy of my summary of responses to my question, and my thought
process in deciding on an Xterminal vs workstation, just email me.]
Now, a second set of questions:
(1) What software do I need? [for my NCD16 Xterminal tied to a
sun4/280)]?
(2) Where do I get such software, given that I, like most
Canadians and Europians, have no FTP access?
(3) Specifically: where can I get xdvi, a tool to view .dvi
files made by TeX/LaTeX?
(4) Would you, like me, like NCD to put GNUemacs (etc) on
their boot tape?
Thanks in advance. I'll prepare a summary for posting in a week or
so, if anybody expresses interest.
