... maybe so but it does work nicely - can it run emacs locally? Say -
do you know how to get a larger font in the tek4010 window?
We have several 3b2/dmd systems - We are ignorant of the possibilities & would
much appreciate any helpful suggestions & software. I was excited when I
realized we had the real magilla blit that A.K. Dewdney wrote of but where
is a standard reference on what it can do & how to do it?
