What else do you want ? I suspect that you are bluffing, sir. Tektronix has just released, or is on the verge of releasing, a major triumph of software engineering genius which makes Windoze NT multiuser, and purports to allow NT to run X, as if it were a real UNIX.... Pray tell, why would Tektronix invest so much time and effort into addressing a couple of glaring weaknesses in NT if you say NT is already multiuser and fully capable of running X??? The internet community awaits your answer... jjs -- jjs@wintermute.ucr.edu / You can't figure out how to A linux machine! because a 486 / ACCELERATE your Windoze NT box? is a terrible thing to waste! / -9.8 m/s^2 works quite well!!!
