this is an underhand and unfair statement. Y&Y make no secrets
whatever about their products. Berthold never claims that `dviwindo'
works on an SGI!
Y&Y's font products, on the other hand, work with any TeX systems, and
great kudos to Berthold (IMHO) for maintaining such high standards in
their fonts.
