If I say
xdemo balls
or indeed specify any of the demos, all I get is the message
file or directory not found
Am I missing some files, or what? The only things with
"demo" in their pathname are
man/xdemo.1
xdemo/*.clu
xdemo/xdemo.xload
xdemo/xdemo.xfile
exe.v10/xdemo
(It would be nice to get this going, to redeem myself after
offering to show somebody the nice demos that came with X,
adn looking a complete nit).
Thanks,
Niall
ps: I'm using the v10r4 release, on a Sun-3.dana@faline.bellcore.com (Dana A. Chee) (07/21/87)

Don't ask me why since I don't know anything about CLU (which is what xdemo is written in) but thanks to Stuart (smarks@sun.com) for providing me with the answer when I tried to run it.

(HOSTNAME is the name of machine on which X server is running). The problem is that xdemo does not like a display specified as 'unix:0', even though other X programs do. -- Robert Gibb decvax!utzoo!dciem!nrcaer!cognos!bgibb Cognos Incorporated 3755 Riverside Drive, Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA K1G 3N3 (613) 738-1440
