That's a good point, the debian one can be used for X programs, text programs, and can even (if you're sneaky) bounce you out of X to run svgalib stuff and return to X when done. Oh, and it is used for menus of html documentation too.. Abritrary new typres of programs can be added easily as well. -- see shy jo -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
