I still want to try this out for myself on a GrayScale DEC 133, though I
suspect that the right thing to do is set textStippleFilled to FALSE on
a monochrome workstation (PLANES==1), and TRUE in all other cases.
The hacking to get this to work with the default resources is quite
bogus, as you need to pass the file through cpp at some point. For now
(or as of tomorrow), the maker2 scripts on both the dec and the risc
have been set up to correctly set this resource, but "maker" still does
the old thing. I'd like to have somebody try out "maker2" and send me
any comments, complaints, etc.
