I am having some trouble with Roell's X386 server. I am trying to run it under ISC 2.0.2 with streams installed. When I try to start it up I get: Creating TCP Socket: No such file or directory InitOutput(pScreenInfo=0x40ae04,argc=2,argv=0x7fffff38) X386VTInit() VgaScreenInit(index=0,pScreen=0x42d400,argc=2,argv=0x7fffff38) bus error (core dumped) Somewhere during the above, the screen clears briefly and then comes back. I never get any graphics or such. I'm sorry if this is an exceedingly simple question. Maybe we need a FAQ posting for X386 (hint hint). I believe I have Xconfig set up right. I only ftp'd the binaries as I don't have enough disk space to build it from scratch. Thanks in advance, Terry

I forgot to ask about this in my first post. What format are the man pages in? I got files such as xwud.n.z. Are these compressed or what? I tried renaming it so xwud.n.Z and compress said the file was not in compressed format. Thanks in advance, Terry

A lowercase .z usually indicates that the file was compressed using the pack(1) utility. Use unpack or pcat to view the file. The .n may mean that it is an nroff source file. However, you cannot tell until you get it unpacked and look at the file. -- Conor P.

Yes he did. The original MIT source uses compress(1). So I think if anyone wants to use *.Z format, the building the original probably is the way to go.
