The program works on other unix machines and it compiles fine on the 3B1. The problem it has is with the subwin call. It fails on that call. I have recently installed 3.51m and it looks like it preserved some ot the old libraries. Also, I have gone through with sdb and I see where the subwin function thinks the input is incorrect. On the third compare, it checks to see if the subwin will be inside the window. It compares the window's _maxy with the subwin's sum of _maxy and _begin_y. It doesn't add the window's _beginy with it's _maxy so it thinks (;-) that the subwindow will not fit. I am hoping that this is just some problem of an old library still in place. Could someone send me the long listing of your lib directory? Thanks in advance, -- %% Dru Nelson %% Miami, FL %% Internet: dnelson@mthvax.cs.miami.edu %%
