   I've also got the FreeBsd xview32 package installed, and am runnin olwm

   My problem is this:  I can not copy and paste text within (or between)
   shelltools and cmdtools.  Trying to do so will crash the shelltool at best,
   and take down the whole X server at worst. 

Huh!  I wonder (gack) if this isn't some incompatability between the two
systems??  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..

Now the new shared package... We know _that_ won't work! :)
