The xview binaries in question certainly work fine under FreeBSD : itself.. Anyone else here running FreeBSD's xview package under NetBSD? : I was always under the impression that this worked fine.. I also use the xview package under NetBSD 0.9 . By and large it works well, but there *are* some problems, and shelltool/cmdtool is the main culprit. In particular any attempt to run rlogin within a cmdtool results in rlogin exiting with a bus error. I had not previously observed the problem with cut & paste, but have just verified that it occurs on my machine too - cmdtool exiting with a bus error and dumping core. Note: cutting and pasting works OK within the textedit editor. -- Thomas Sandford | t.d.g.sandford@bradford.ac.uk WWW page <a href="http://www.brad.ac.uk/people/tdgsandf/index.html">here</a>
