- I think it is more difficult than you suspect. INITs and cdevs are
- going to patch out traps and they may make assumptions that will be
- incorrect. When they do, your app will totally mysteriously break.
- *I* could never discourage a person from attacking a difficult problem
- without being a hypocrite, but I suspect that we'll have it going over
- here before you have it going over there, and we don't plan on
- starting for a month or two.

- I'm having problems running TCPConnects' MacX
- It's an emulator for X windows (sun ) on the Mac.
- It runs the X apps on the Suns screen but I can't get them up on the Mac screen
-
- Heee-eeeelp!!
-
- Maybe an alternative?
