It's faster, has better terminal-emulation, works great with colours...

So you have xufsl or similar installed? This works fine here.

Weird... It sure has iconify here, and I have no redraw-problems
whatsoever.

runtos?? You're not supposed to use runtos at all... Try downloading the
archive again (in case it's faulty) and unpack/install it independently of
any old toswin-installs. Be sure to edit MINT.CNF and N_AES.CNF according
to the instructions.

It's the best :-) It doesn't work as an accessory anymore, but since it's
designed (and indeed *require*) N.AES or AES 4.1 this makes sense.
