You can run more than one window system, if you have multiple framebuffers, or a cgfour that you would like to use as more than one framebuffer. The complete instructions are in the xnews(1) man page. With this method, you can run one Sunview and one X11/NeWS, or 2 X11/NeWS's. Henry B. J.

You can run more than one window system, if you have multiple framebuffers, or a cgfour that you would like to use as more than one framebuffer. The complete instructions are in the xnews(1) man page. Under NeWS 1.1 I thought you could partition the physical display and only use part of it as the "screen" for NeWS. Does this capability still exist in X/NeWS? If so, you might be able to get away with splitting the screen into two (or more) pseudo-displays. If one hosed, you might be able to traipse (sp?) on back to the other to kill the hoser. -- Skip Montanaro (montanaro@crdgw1.ge.com)
