I must agree with the rest of the gang.  All those system calls,
especially on a multiuser system would be sooooo slow!

I know that GSS has there VDI graphics with a meta file system and
'C' bindings on the 7300.  I saw it and I was impressed (which may
not mean much).  They even had two dimensional object rotation
(cosmic! like what a totally awesome concept!).

I really am not sure whether this is available on Xenix but from a
brochure that I read it seems they said something about it.  Maybe if they
got enough pressure it would become available.  Besides, their priorities
seem to be in pleasing IBM at this time. You are talking Xenix/286
aren't you?

I speak for no one but Baker and Ed. (Real Coors Gurus).

(Seen: it's snowing in the Rockies. What else.)

Ed:	"Baker."
Baker:  "Ya Ed."
Ed:	"How many six packs do you think are falling out there right
		now?"
Baker:	"Gee, I never thought of it that way!  There must be
		millions, thousands even!!!"
