[Cuis-dev] VectorEnginePlugin: parts in motion

[Joseph Turco]

Ken,

You were able to get Cuis to start without windowing and use it? Meaning booting into a console and starting Cuis? Kinda like using Cuis as "the" operating system? I'd like to know how you did that, as the only thing I can find like that is the smalltalk-80 bare metal implementation.
