As far as I know, Jay's Aethra is supposed to be identical to a current SDL

no need for, thus making it slightly faster than SDL 4.x Hyperion. (How much
faster, I have no idea. I've never bothered to try measuring it.)
All these responses are useful. Thanks! As I don't have any need for "z" operating systems, nor licenses, I'll probably go Aethra. Speed isn't really an issue for me, but I always lean toward lighter weight systems if I have a choice.
My old shop was a 370/148 when I started, and a 4300 series when I left.
Excellent hosting and configuration advice, I wasn't aware of the helper.
Thanks again all,
Troy.
