I've got two machines here, one with a pile of disk, and one with not much at all. I'm trying to get the X version of info running off the machine without any spare disk by NFS mounting various directories from the other (eg all the X stuff) or copying some smaller files. I've got info starting, but get an error stating that 'Application definition files not found'. Now, so I don't have to waste my time hunting these files down, can someone tell me where/what they are? And while I'm here, has anyone got info to display on either an NCD X terminal or a sun, or a vaxstation...? In fact anything but a DECstation, on which it appears to work fine.

I have been able to access info on a remote system as follows: On bigdisk, export /usr/lpp/info on littledisk, mount bigdisk:/usr/lpp/info/data mount bigdisk:/usr/lpp/info/En_US (I presume you'd probably prefer En_UK). -- Bob Shair shair@chgvmic1.vnet.ibm.com Scientific Computing Specialist SHAIR@UIUCVMD (bitnet) IBM Champaign

Either come up with acceptable aliases or decompile and recompile the fonts for your X server. I tried both ways, and the latter gave the best results. Then there's still the fact that tftp on the RS6000 doesn't have its own root directory in /tftpboot, so it's not possible to have the RS6000 as a font server for both its own X server and another X terminal. |>Thanks in advance, |> Alistair |> |>-- |>Alistair Veitch Systems Programmer/Analyst |>Internet: acv@waikato.ac.nz Phone: +64 71 562889 ext. 8638 |>SNAIL: Computer Services, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand -- Regards, Herbert van den Bergh hbergh@oracle.com Oracle Europe or uunet!oracle!hbergh
