Hi Nicola, Thanks for your confirmation. I think your statement can almost certainly be strengthened to read "which on these operating systems always means X11", but man would i ever be delighted to be proven wrong. I believe that about a decade ago one proposed project was to replace the x11 backend with something directly using frame buffering (athough perhaps my memory is faulty), but i guess nobody had the bandwidth to really pursue it. Anyhow, i do appreciate your help and your general thoughtfulness in answering questions down through the years. dan _______________________________________________ Help-gnustep mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnustep
