Might as well get two birds with one posting.

We have two VAX3100 workstations (VMS format, I can just see the sour looks
on all of you Unix fan's faces) with Black and White monitors.  Both
workstations support DECwindows (Digitals version of X-windows).  However,
when we try and enter Patran and enter our emulation device as an X-window
terminal we get a nasty message spit back at us saying that our terminal
does not support enough colors (I guess two colors is not enough variety
for them).  Any suggestions as to how we can run Patran on the B&W screens?
We don't have any tektronix emulators currently installed.

The second question is more recreational.  Does anybody know of an archive
of .gl files (the animated files driven by GRASPRT)?  Specificlly, something
that a 2 1/2 year old would get a kick out of.  We both like Buggs Bunny.

Thanks a lot in advance.
