I wonder if anyone has experienced this problem and would have a workaround. I am trying to run Version 1.0 of the "Wingz" spreadsheet on a Sparcstation 1+ under SunOS 4.1.0. I'm running OpenWindows 2.0, and "Wingz" is still a Sunview application, so it runs in the "compatibility" layer above all the other windows. The problem is that when you click on any of the menu buttons with any mouse button, the menu button inverts, stays inverted for several seconds, and then goes back to normal without any menu being displayed. You get a message "Couln't ask service who holds selection: RPC: Timed out" error message on the shell window from which you started Wingz. Sound familiar? If so, please send me email, since I can never seem to stay caught up with this newsgroup :-). Thanks! -Bill Leue leue@crd.ge.com

In a previous posting, I complained about Informix Wingz not working in the Sunview Compatibillity mode Under Open Windows 2.0. Mark Day was kind enough to send email letting me know what the problem is. It turns out that Wingz is trying to use the Sunview Selection service, but that isn't started automatically under Open Windows. The solution is to start the Sunview selection service myself manually. It is important to remember to kill the Sunview selection service after you have terminated the Wingz program to avoid problems with multiple copies running. [Special message to Dick Dowe.
