I have encountered some problems in running OPENLOOK on x terminals (I recently saw a fix for Xview for xterminals but I don't know what the original problem is and I don't think it applies to this case). It may be a problem with the xterminal server, or it may be a problem with Xview I don't know. Anyway I've compiled X11R4-up to patch 14 and Xview 2.0 on a Sparcstation 1 running SunOS 4.0.3 (It's time for a bit of a beef about Sun Microsystems Australia (you'll have to excuse me) even though we pay them over $5000 a year for software I am still waiting (despite over 20 phone calls and faxes) for SunOS 4.1, Openwindows 2.0, fortran 1.3.1 etc...., and I am never going to buy another workstation from them again!!!! That feels better :-) ). Anyway the problem occurs when attempting to use scrollbars on xterminals, after an amount of using the scrollbar the server freezes, and it necessary to reboot the xterminal. The xterminals are a local product from Labtam, based on an i860 chip I think. I'm a bit baffled because the problem didn't occur with Openwindows 1.0. Any ideas ?
