Hm. I never thought of running it on RSX11M+. I think it used the Pro's
video for graphs and could do amazing bitmaps on the LA50, but I'll bet
it just uses VT125/131 codes to talk to the display as opposed to
accessing the Pro's bitmap registers.
I'll see if I can read it in now.

Chris,
I would be interested in getting a copy of the SSPS/X software for POS. I have a
manual for SPSS/11 and would love to try to get the software running under RSX11M+ if
possible.
Thanks,
Mark
