- I think you mean: nothing (else than a very limited alternative for
- plain UNIX on a VT52 terminal). But then again, that's what MiNT was
- initially designed for: to suit masochists who like nothing better than
- a VT52 terminal with a bourne shell in an Atari font.

- Well, I kinda figured it was nice to run MGR, but still, there were never a
- huge number of apps designed there...

- Now the Mint-Net with TCP is out, it's time to think about the X server, eh?
-
- Personally I think it would be nice to rewrite the AES as a bunch of X calls,
- as opposed to trying to implement the X server under AES. That way we can make
- our own bugs instead of having to deal with Atari AES bugs... }-)
