Hi all, here's a REAL stupid question:

I'm running epoch 3.2 on a Sun4/360 (SunOS 4.1.1)

The question is: can epoch run at all from a regular text terminal?
(i.e vt102, vt220)

I'd like to avoid having epoch on-line for X window users AND regular
old emacs on-line for 'text' terminal users.  Seems like a royal waste
of disk space.

Is there any way for epoch 3.2 to default back to plain-vanilla emacs
when it is called from a Non-X terminal??


I know emacs can be compiled with the X11 flags so that it produces
emacstool as well as emacs (emacstool being the executable for the X
window system)  but Epoch seems to be X-windows based. Period.

Can I compile epoch without X support and use that as my
'plain-old-vt100' version????

Thanks in advance, 

JG

No. I broke that early on, and it's never been fixed. Maybe someday.
