Using NeWS on the SGI is interesting. First to get the textcan code to start working I had to add a dictionary to the Reshape callback proceedure even though Sun is assuming that there should have been space in the class dictionary. I looked in the XSIGHT documentation but couldn't find anything about such fundamential change. Anyone know what been changed? Then I ran into a Black Hole, NO NeWS Server Source. Of course with the X11/R3 server I can run the server core into xdbx and do something reasonable, but with the NeWS server I'm ..., well you know... The Server crashed with what obviously is a segment violation after displaying the StructItem for the Stack and the dialog-item TextStructItem. The details left on the floor are very informative :) ============================================================================== Apr 19 23:50:59 ctc2 Kick off startup script Apr 19 23:50:59 ctc2 grcond[1378]: CIO: Done user.ps Apr 19 23:50:59 ctc2 grcond[1378]: CIO: NeWS/AdobeMap.ps loading...

I also tried the browser on the Silicon Graphics. The text is chopped up. I tried a few other fonts and it didn't help. I think I swa this before but I can recall wat it was. Any suggestions? How is the X11/News server going for the SGI?
