I have Andrew from the X11R4 tape plus the patches from expo.  I have
built several of the Andrew applications on a Sun 4 clone (Solbourne)
and they run just fine off of a SPARCstation 1.  However, they all
dump core when I try to run them from an X terminal.  (I have both
b&w and color NCD X terminals.)

The error message is:

ez new.table
Starting ez (Version 7.0, ATK 15.0); please wait...
Could not open the display; this program will not run without a window system.
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Unfortunately, I didn't build this stuff with -g, so I can't give 
much information about where it's dying:

(dbx) where
ezapp__Start() at 0xbd50
main() at 0x2ad0

I just built this stuff this morning, so I haven't begun looking for
the problem myself yet.

If anybody has gotten Andrew applications running successfully on
an X terminal and could give me a hand, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
