Oh, no!

If you like X (& Unix), and I do, in its place, use X (& Unix).  As is
well documented, its easy enough to set up a machine (as I have) to
dual boot Linux and OS/2 and to use each when the mood strikes you.

I think the X-resource file is an abomination and a support nightmare.
(As in, can you say, "No 2 alike" ?)

Again, "Oh, No!"

Actually, I like the X C&P, with one exception - you can't do blocks.
I have yet to find a way to cut a rectangle in the middle of the screen.
For one of my scripts - where I need to cut a column of numbers from the
screen and feed it to the program - this is a real bummer.
