Dear netland,
we are using X windows and try to use starbase on a window but run into
severe problems:
Why do the starbase call gopen() in, seemingly, randomness sometimes fail,
sometimes succeed when used with X-windows?
Our call is
gopen(device_string, OUTDEV, "hp98550") 
and the program is linked with -ldd98550.
The error message is
"starbase error 3: device kind is not supported for the specified
device"

But the call works beautiful sometimes ??
