I am trying to use the "xfig" drawing package; it dumps on me. "xfig" is contributed, so ... now that I have it compiled ... I'm not sure what to expect. If others have been able to get it going, I'd love to here how. The problem is centered around the popup menu. Everything else seems to work fine; but when the right mouse button (popup menu) is selected, it immediately dumps core. Any and all help will be appreciated. Response via email would be preferred. Thanx in advance, John Lewis (lewis@cpsc.UCalgary.CA)

The typedef for the x,y fields should be "int" and not short which is what Position is defined as. Chip Fraser PCS Munich Germany

I know many people can't ftp or reach an archive. I'm sure the R4 release will have fixed sources. And no, I'm not doing anything more with it these days.
