Re: Requiring glib. Problem?

[Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I use tn5250 on a couple of machines that are just too old and slow to
run X (486sx-25 & slower, 8mb RAM).  If glib became a requirement, would I
then need to have X installed on these machines?

Also, its been discussed many times that it'd be nice to have a "emulator
on a floppy" wouldn't the extra size of glib make this impossible?

Thats my 2 cents. :)
