Don't do it!  Remember, there's a new generation of X-windows users
out there, running on little PCs or (in my case) notebook computers
rather than giant workstations.  I manage to run X quite nicely with
4MB RAM and a little swapping under Linux, even when I need to work with
epoch.  Lucid, however, would kill my system in a week.

BTW, are there any plans to extend zones and styles to tty invocations
of epoch, using terminfo or termcap?  It would be nice to have boldface,
etc., over a modem.
