because, as i said, i have about a half-dozen X apps
that i use (or do without their functionality). the
quality/enjoyability of my computing time would be
greatly increased if i could use these locally. now,
i use most on a remote Solaris box using vnc, but
that's painful from home, over my 56K modem (to far
for DSL; no cable modem in my town). were i far more
daring, i'd look at porting them to /dev/draw, but
that's an even more daunting task - even the few of
these programs that were written with any sort of
portability in mind wern't written with _that_ kind
of portability in mind.
