Before getting TOO excited - yes, it would be nice - have a look at the June issue of CACM (http://mags.acm.org/communications/201006/?pg=57#pg57) for a good description of what's really involved in graphics emulation for old machines.
It's a really, really hard problem. At least if you want a 100% solution. Or one that looks right with classic software... For VAX, note that remote X-windows does work - and there was a VWS emulator (by DEC on VAX) that allowed VWS applications to work under X pretty well. Of course on an LCD display you'll get the pixel artifacts. I'm actually of the school that something is better than nothing - but knowing the full scope of the problem is important too. --------------------------------------------------------- This communication may not represent my employer's views, if any, on the matters discussed. _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
