I have been running NeWS on a Sun-2/120 and have been getting several messages of the form: "Process: 0x175BCC Error: timeout" For instance, when I try starting an nterm console or when I run "garden.ps" I get the timeout. The timeouts do NOT occur when I run things on a Sun-3. I assume that the timeouts result from the slower CPU. Is there a way to adjust the timeout value in NeWS for when I am using a slow (but cheap) Sun-2? (If it matters, I am using NeWS 1.1) --- David P.
