I can set it to grizzly:0 run xterm and up pops the xterm on the other machine. Next I type netsacpe, and the error appears. There is some discussion in the README file about being staticly linked against X11R5 instead of X11R^, bit even so, at least one of the machines that I am trying this on is runnig a R5 serever. Has anyone else seen this beahviorm or is ti something pecuilar about my system? -- Stan Brown stanb@netcom.com 404-996-6955 Factory Automation Systems Atlanta Ga. -- Look, look, see Windows 95.
