I compiled the Andrew-system from the X11R4-Tape. When I try to run the "preview" program it states: > window: Base frame not passed parent window in environment > > Unable to create main Preview window. > Be sure you are directly logged into a workstation > and have invoked SunTools. Since all the other programs connect correctly to the X-Server this is kind of strange. Is there a version of preview that uses X, or are there some special compile-time switches ? Thanks,...

This does not sound like it is the Andrew application "preview" - but rather like some Sun (SunTools) application -- have you tried 'which preview' to determine exactly what program you are trying to run? --fish

I didn't think that "preview" worked at all under X11 -- at least, it never has since I've been using Andrew under X11 on a SPARC. Does anyone out there actually have it working?
