I have added a workaround to the xmh code that *mostly* fixes the problem. You will get xmh dialog boxes popping up now and then with obscure messages from the underlying mh utilities; but I have been sucessful at ignoring these :-) I have not had the cycles to go back and ferret out the reason the underlying utilities have things to say. If you prefer a compiled version, I have placed a compressed executable file on hpcvaaz (15.255.72.15) that is accessable to anyone on the Internet. You can get the file via anonymous ftp in: ./pub/MitX11R4/xmh.3.7.0.Z ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Andreas | andreas@cv.hp.com | INTERNET Hewlett-Packard Company | {backbone}!hplabs!hp-pcd!andreas | UUCP 1000 N.E.
