Hmmm. Does it have to be one or the other? Can you install both backends at the same time? Say if you wanted to compare them, or had users of the same machine with different preferences? (Could really happen for my macs.) I won't ask whether it would be more efficient to split octave into X11 and Aqua variants, rather than the backend, because I'm sure you've considered that... -- Viv ________________________________________________ Dr Viv Kendon http://quantum.leeds.ac.uk/~viv tel: +44 113 343 4864 Physics and Astronomy Quantum Information Group University of Leeds ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The demand for IT networking professionals continues to grow, and the demand for specialized networking skills is growing even more rapidly.
