I have only seen supported GLIDE, installed out-of-the-box (well, off
ACT's ftp site actually, still waiting for the fancy box with the CD
in!) on NT, and there was no need to do anything other than run the
installer. Manuals are for wimps (I exaggerate).

I normally use emacs on Unix, so there were some surprises. For
example, I really like the [Home] key to go to the top of the file! no
doubt I will fix this when I get annoyed enough, but clearly this is
what a Windows user would expect, so one can't fault the choice.

We have had issues with GLIDE, all (as far as I remember)
VxWorks-related -- no, there was a problem with the case exception file
name.
