I've noticed that the xview tools run very slowly over a low speed network (SLIP, localtalk, ..). So just for fun, I ran xscope to compare the traffic generated by echoing a single keystroke in cmdtool as contrasted with xterm. cmdtool needed 336 bytes of traffic, where xterm needed 60. This is just the x-protocol data, and doesn't count the KeyPress event. This was the easiest thing to measure, but just about everything else I try in xview runs poorly over a slow link too. --- Ken Mandelberg | km@mathcs.emory.edu PREFERRED Emory University | {rutgers,gatech}!emory!km UUCP Dept of Math and CS | km@emory.bitnet NON-DOMAIN BITNET Atlanta, GA 30322 | Phone: Voice (404) 727-7963, FAX 727-5611
