I thought it was a joke too (I'm interested in the DOS port only
because some of our district people don't have all the neat Sun
equipment we do, and would need to run our interface work on DOS. *We*
would never stoop to using DOS :-). But, the fellow I talked to at
RSI seemed quite pleased with the DOS port, apparently it runs well
even on a 386 with 4MB.

Basically the split means yet another decision that newcomers to
visualization will have to make. For those of us already well into
either product, hopefully both companies will work hard to keep their
now separate products up to speed. Hey, maybe it would be easier to
chuck out everything and pay $75 bucks for apE ;-)

I suppose after a while the two products will diverge enough so that
this group will become meaningless. Oh well. (What's that bucky you
say the group was meaningless when it started?!)
