I apologize if this is too basic a question.  My Sun rep passed along
to me an OpenWindows tape, but I have not yet received any documentation.
I'm trying to run it on one of our SPARCstation 1+'s under 4.0.3.
I set $OPENWINHOME to the correct directory and ran the program "openwin."
Then, I received the error messages:

	Unable to resovle host localhost
	giving up.
	/openwin/bin/xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable
	to connect to Xserver.

Because this machine is using a domain nameserver and not using yp,
localhost is not a valid alias.  I am assuming that I need to set some
sort of environment variable here.  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
