Ward) writes: seems like the graphic system shouldn't matter too much for just straight UNIX. wouldn't that be a problem for X support? or maybe not, i don't know too much about macs or internal X stuff... i was addressing the graphics system of the apollo and is important because there is no character mode. you have to start off drawing the characters in graphics mode right away. i think there mught be hope of using the X11R5 apollo distibution since it is based on the apollo BSD enviroment, but i can say for sure. i have received a lot of encourageing mail from people that have successfully made book blocks and graphics code for the apollo, and am currently get a list setup (sorry for the delay) and will post the information i recevied so far to this. -bri -- Brian D.
