Do you recall how much they charged you for it?
I wonder if these are the guys (Allen and Terry were pretty well-known) who
wrote a thing called K-Less, which is the "less/more" text viewer of Unix/Linux
souped up, and given a REALLY fine GUI. In fact, the GUI was overkill for
this simple utility, but showed off the icons and graphics. It looked as good
as anything *can* look on a 640x400 color screen. (Not sure if they used the
flickery 400-line vertical, or just the 200).
I still have KLess on my MM/1, will try to remember to fire it up next time I
boot that box. --Mike K.
