I tried that one. It would generally, run, but crashed a lot. It also
had particular applications that it very much didn't like--netscape and
xv come to mind--they resulted in *massive* redraws, about every
horizontal line, and were unusable. They also wouldn't work with splus
graphics, which is what i needed at the time.
