If I remember correctly it was possible to run X on the box, in a sort of
transparent thru mode. And that was version 10.??

But first time I saw it, I wondered why anybody would want to run that
on DomainOS? It was progress the wrong way around....

And from the DM editor, I went into vi, because Emacs just does not fit
in the frame of my brain.... :(

BTW Got an svn URL from Brooks@, so I'll atleast download the
VariantLink code....
