That makes sense. I suppose if I had a linux laptop, I wouldn't
mind so much... :-) I suppose I prefer the graphical versions becaused
I've been using them for some time, and have gotten used to their feel.
Also, I managed to get pretty sick of the MS-DOS versions of IC, since they
didn't have an integrated editor - which meant quitting, editting, and
restarting IC every time I wanted to make a minor change! However, the UNIX
version _does_ incorporate this feature, which should certainly make things
easier. I suppose I'm also lucky because I'm dual-booting, giving me the
choice of which version to run.
