[comp.windows.open-look] why vitool.icon?

pete@TIRS.oz.au (Peter Bartel) (01/03/91)

At the risk of displaying my ignorance to the world:

Why is $OPENWINHOME/share/include/images/vitool.icon (which is
distributed with OpenWindows 2.0) an image of a monster? Does this chap
have anything to do with vi? Is this the creature from the black
lagoon? Or one of the guys from V? Is there some deep philosophical
connection here? Will I be able to sleep while this mystery remains
unsolved?

Perhap you're trying to be funny, but that "chap" is supposed to be
Bill Joy.  Take a closer look...
