Is "psterm -t tek4014" known to be broken, in that 4014 graphics don't work? If so, is it fixed in 3.3? I suppose I could use X once I get 3.3. If it's already known to be broken I won't bother our support people about it. Am I considerate or what?

Psterm emulates different terminals by attempting to grok what it should do from the termcap or terminfo description. It makes no attempt to emulate graphics capabilities of any of the terminals. In fact I don't think graphics capabilities are even very well described in termcap/terminfo. -- From the TARDIS of Mark Callow msc@ramoth.sgi.com, ...{ames,decwrl}!sgi!msc "Spirits of genius are always opposed by mediocre minds" - Albert Einstein
