I'm currently developing a dedicated monitoring system which is to run in a Unix enviroment. Now, here is my query -- which windowing package would be the best to use? The user interface will be able to display bar and pie graphs, as well as histograms.. It will be menu and point/click driven, with updates every second or 2. As many as 20 - 30 graphs will have to be updated each time. Hence speed and rational graphics calls are at a premium, while power is less so. Space is also important, for I'd like to keep the system RAM at 8 megs or less. Second query. Access to the database stored on a 300 meg drive will be contantly occurring. Now in regular DOS, everything freezes while the drive is being accessed, tho there are cludges around this. Is ATT Unix up to the task? Many thanks in advance. Stefan
