Oh by the way, I found the following entry in c.w.x FAQ.

> Century Software (801-268-3088) sells a VT220 terminal emulator for X. 
> VT102, Wyse 50 and SCO Color Console emulation are also available. 

I called them up and asked if it runs on HP workstations.  Following
is the bizzar conversation I had with them. (not exact wording, but I
think it is close enough.)

Century> We run on HP but it doesn't run on X.

I thought he meant that they only support the window system on Domain
OS, (which I thought is not X, but I don't really know).

me> You mean you support only Domain OS and not HP-UX?

Century>  No we run on HP-UX, but we don't run on X

me>  ???? Aaaaaa, isn't X the only window system run on HP-UX?

Century> Well, we run on HP-UX operating system, but we don't run on
        "X window operating system". (this part I'm sure that what
	this guy really said)

me> ?????????? weeeelll, isn't X just window system running on HP-UX?

Century> No they are separate things.  It is like DOS and Windows.
        Windows is operating system and they are separate things.

  	For example on Sun, we have two separate products, one for
	SunOS, and one for Sun window system.

me> ?????????????????????? weeellll, I think you don't have what
    I want. Good bye.

????????????????

I'm no native in this country, but it was the most foreign
conversation I ever had.  Could anybody make any sense out of this for
me please?  What a heck is terminal emulator which runs on HP-UX but
not on X????
