Dear Netlanders,
 
I am looking for some information regarding X-Windows.  Specifically,
I have to come up with some justification that will allow our
department to buy Window graphics terminals designed to work with
X-Windows instead of the basic character oriented Terminals. (i.e VT320s)
 
What I need is some good convincing arguments to support this.  I need
to show advantages of the X-windowing environment.  This may be current
advantages or future advantages.
 
Any statistics that would show that a windowing interface makes a person
more productive than one would be with the basic terminal would be great.
 
Any help in this area would be appreciated.
 
Please Send email if possible.
If there is enough interest and response, I'll post a summary to the net.
 
Thanks to everyone in advance.
 
Dave Scholten
