Something like a 30MHz 68040, if I understand correctly.

I'd kinda like to, but don't want to buy it f it does not run. I remeber
it being hardware intensive, I am on a p-60 with 16 megs or ram.

The -geometry works fine for me, no problems at all.  Can't comment on
the twm problem since I use fvwm, why not change?  I think fvwm is
better and it is even smaller (less memory).  Plus the GoodStuff
module for fvwm is pretty neat.  But this is not the place to discuss
that.

You could try using RandomPlacement inside twm and see if that fixes
the keyboard input problem.

Cool! Where can I get a demo of Hellcats? I couldn't get A-10 or F-18
2.0 demos to work, I tried. I posted a message about that yesterday.
