I don't know about MACH, but this mix of jobs runs fine on
an 025 running AIX. X response is a bit sluggish, but not
unbearably so.

The shift and control keys click under ACIS (4.3), but not under
AIX. I don't think they clicked under earlier versions of the BSD
system. Something is probably wrong with the ACIS tty driver.
