Now that the hype is over



Serious comment ...

I vaguely remember reading that someone had done an AALIB backend for
XFree86.
If that exists, it would be a convenient and simple way to run QT at the
console.
Let's face it, some QTE systems have 160x160 pixels and a linux VT
console can
be put into a 50x80 mode which should permit AALIB to offer a 100x160
bitmap to X.

A friend has one of those printers that is actually a typewriter, so it
can use
correction tape to remove characters from the paper.  An evil thought
occurs,
but I'd want to disable all the flashing cursor features before trying
to use QT.
