I sent a letter to the INFO-MICRO bboard a short while back about the
Corvus Concept workstation.  I made a comment about the resolution
being rather low for a full page display.  Admittedly I am spoiled and
ill-informed, only having experience with two full page display
devices (the BitGraph and Dolphin) each of which have 1k by 800
screens.

The question I'd like to pose is: what IS the lowest possible graphic
resolution for a full page display, assuming you are going to write
into the bitmap to create characters, and want to do things like
italic and small sized (footnote type) characters?

If possible I'd love specific observations about doing fancy
characters on a Corvus Concept (anyone a beta test site for it?).
