- You can't run general DECwindows applications on a character cell terminal, but
- you will soon (I am not sure exactly what "soon" means here) be able to run
- Bookreader on such a terminal. The character-cell terminal feature of
- Bookreader is in field test now (I've tried it and it seems to work fairly
- well; sure makes working from home a lot easier!) Stay tuned for official
- pronouncements.
