The answer to that is no . If you like can can view E-scape as 
a platform from which you can launch applications as well as 
providing basic services. Another way to look at it is to 
dynamically reconfigure your package so as to keep the basic
features to a minium . For instance, if I am not into midi
why should I be inflicted by downloading the source code and
recompiling e-scape to exclude the MIDI component.


BTW: I just downloaded the linux version for netscape and the tclplugin
for linux . Works rather nicely over here. 
If the Linux version for netscape proves to be reliable I will
dump the BS/OS netscape.
