Anybody know what directory and what file, AIX uses to load the 'green
screen font'. It is nice and clear and I want to see if I can move it to
my linux system.

That'd be nice, and while you're at it could you get my IBM 20"
monochrome monitor to work on an x86 box too? ;-)

It's about 10 years ago, since I worked on AIX, since then,
Linux looks better. The Screen Font was Rom16.pcf, if I remember right,
then you could use it as X11 Font.

** 10 years ago would put it at 1991 when AIX V3 was just coming out.
Version 4 is several years later. But, thanks for the time, it gives me
a start.

I've done the same thing with Sun's "Screen" font on every Linux system
I've setup. The 12pt-bold version of Screen is so much more readable (IMO)
than anything that comes (at least) with any of the RH distros I've seen.
