we use JSB  MultiView on  RT's (didn't want  it for our 6000's). there
seems to be some  problems  with emacs users  running multiview  - CPU
time gets  eaten  by an emacs  process (even  an idling  id), it  runs
away... i called JSB about it (posted stuff to emacs  groups as well),
the people at JSB  didn't know what emacs  or FSF meant... emacs users
here don't use multiview  anymore, since emacs has  shell, subwindows,
etc. anyway. other than the emacs problem, it works okay for us...
