I'm not looking for more than running vi, but I want a quality window! The VT102 `scrolling prototype' is slow, ugly and hard on the eyes, so I only use it to run graphics out of. I keep a bunch of Suntool windows (shelltool) around on my screen for normal work. The shelltool gives reasonably clear characters (read: could be better, but they work), a distinct background and is FAST. All my text work (like this letter) I do in a shelltool, but I run on top of NeWS to get the graphics (for which I'm forced to use the prototype). Also, what about a NeWS based debugger like dbxtool and a mail icon like mailtool? Tom Schneider National Cancer Institute Laboratory of Mathematical Biology Frederick, Maryland toms@ncifcrf.gov
