I have installed MGR for almost a year now. I have used it steadily for over half a year. Other than a few postings about the porting of MGR to AT&T 3B(?) machine, I have not seen any discussions at all on the usenet. How popular is MGR? Has anyone modified it?

I use MGR on a Toshiba 5200 running Xenix. It has some weirdness associated with it, but it's very easy to get simple things working. I was able to get graphics going for some statistical software I've written in about ten minutes. I've also written a program for displaying bitmap images. I like it a lot. It's small and fairly fast. Makes the machine quite pleasant to use. Ross

I got a copy of SuperBook (from Bellcore) that runs on top of MGR. While I liked SuperBook, nothing else I needed to use runs on it, so we no longer use either Superbook or MGR. -- "A waist is a terrible thing to mind" - Dan Quayle at a Weight Watchers group ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chris Esposito | Internet: chrise@atc.boeing.com Boeing Advanced Technology Center | uucp: ...!uw-june!bcsaic!chrise

Has anyone modified it? I took a walk around the hall after lunch and counted 17 workstations running MGR (including mine). Mostly sparcstations, but some sun 3's and some dec3100's. At home I run MGR on a toshiba 5200 (on SCO xenix). I try to keep the latest versions of MGR avaliable for ftp on bellcore.com, and incorporate the bug fixes that people send me, although I'm currently a bit behind.
