- SVR4 seems to be VERY streamlined (mostly in it's stdio).
- I have been running X11R5 on this machine (A Unitron motherboard 486 33Mhz,
- 256K cache), and it's pretty quick - using a Diamond SpeedSTAR 24 anyway.
- An aside here: I ordered a Diamond SpeedSTAR PLUS hoping I would
- get X11R5 usage at 1024*256, but they sent me a card with manuals and disks
- in a motherboard box! The card says "Diamond SpeedSTAR 24" on it, but the
- Windows drivers don't let me use 32K colors (they say they can't set the
- mode). Is this card a 24 with the programmable PLL (or VCO) and without
- the 24's DAC? I also got a one page addemdum calling the card the 24.
- Oh well... just confused by documentation as usual.
- Also, where do I get SAS??? You are on a public access UNIX system?
- Do you have it there? What would it do for me? Get the higher speeds? I don't
- even know if it would be worth it, I only get 1500cps using UUCP to my friends
- machine. I don't know if either my friend's SPARC I can't handle it, or I
- can't (Consensys SVR4 3.0).
- Thanks for the help!

- P.S.: I am using TECO to write this article. I've always written a TECO for
- whatever machine I had to program on (even wrote one for my Commodore 64).
- Needless to say, I am a TECO fanatic. My UNIX version uses ANSI to color
- levels and parentheses/quote/bracket levels (I first did this back in '84,
- how long has EMACS done this?). EDIT/TECO eh? What about just "MAKE WAR" under
- TOPS-10 6.03???
