Okay. Consider this a scream. I would like to get a server implementing
a subset of the X protocol running on a big Vax and driving one
or more vt220s. Obviously, the window manager talking to this
server will not have access to a mouse at all, so there must be
an alternative method of giving it ANY COMMAND from the keyboard!
Mike, would your twm work on our Vax 8650 -- assuming that I had
a vt220 X server, of course?
By the way, does anyone have such a server? I have had a go at
cutting out the graphic and mouse dependent parts of the X11
protocol, but have not attempted an implementation because I do
not have version 11 of X.
