(What about Raspberry Pi? Does anyone know? Google gives lots of hits, but in the end, the links are all broken. Maybe I should compile one.) On the Gripping Hand, if the programmer suffers the delusion that he can use only a coax-wired 327x, he's SOL. I stumbled on a browser called Lobo, written in Java. It sucks on any platform I've tried it on; not worth agitating my admins to get X11 working on z/OS so I can see whether it compatibly sucks there, also. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
