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,...
