I'm having a NeWS 1.1 problem that I can't seem to solve. I have two instances of the same client application running. Each has its own window. I have the windows positioned such each takes up approximately 2/3 of the screen. Instance 1 takes up the left 2/3 while Instance 2 takes up the right 2/3 and is on top of Instance 1. Each instance has several canvases on them with menus tied to them. These canvases are children of the ClientCanvas. After a while, the windows go off into limbo. They are there, but you can't do anything with them. The children canvases, however, are still active and I can access the menus. "printf" statements in my client applications show that the data to be sent back from selecting my menu items (done by printing characters via "print") across the PostScript socket is being sent. My WHILE loop calls "psio_eof" and "psio_error" but no error are ever encountered. I have "pause" state- ments everywhere just in case the NeWS Server might have been causing this because I was trying to do too much at one time. Doing a "ps -ax | grep <appl>" shows that the two applications are still running. Also, if I kill the two application instances, the limbo-ed win- dows still remain on the screen. What gives? ANY help on this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Robert
