if you make acme windows just funny-shaped rio windows
to some programs, i'm not so sure how useful that is.
it might be nice for running page, but for web browsing
you'd lose all the nice things acme gives you for free --
text management, cut and paste, editing, and so on.
oberon had object code associated with everything, so
i get the impression it was easier to integrate graphics
into the text without losing the text editing where
applicable.
not having thought much about this,
russ
