Please bear with me a bit further. Are you saying that an X terminal
won't work with Genera 1at0 1all0 - i.e., it can't even display a single
Genera screen - unless a UN*X box is present to provide the
aforementioned services? That would be sad if true, because my
application cannot make such an assumption. Perhaps I should ask the
SLUG mailing list if anyone has written or ported some simple X manager
to Genera.
An X terminal can display a Genera screen without the help of a Unix(TM)
box. What you will miss are a variety of helpful utilities such as
window managers, xhost, xset, etc. If you are dedicating the X terminal
to supporting a single Genera screen, you won't miss them much. If you
are using the X terminal in a multiple-host multiple-application
environment, you will want them.
By the way, do even AT&T employees have to say "UN*X"?
