What does network-transparent mean? If it means "emit curses codes so that everything works inside your xterm" then sorry, that can't happen: they're graphical interfaces. If it means "if you're on some other machine and have X forwarding set up right, then a new window pops up on your screen" then devdraw *is* network transparent. Either way, the situation is no different than if the programs linked directly against the X library. Russ
