I believe "aliasing" (correct term?)   allows  a grey-scale monitor to display
characters at seemingly higher resolution by using greys in spots where a font
outline suggests an ambiguous decision of whether to put a pixel or not. Since
my new 21" NeXT monitor has  only 1024*768 resolution if driven  by my NeXT, I
wonder if DPS can at least use aliasing to make characters appear to be better
shaped.

Incidentally, can the NeXT 21" monitor be driven  by other computer(s)?  Is it
multi-sync?
