Unfortunately, it is not as simple as I had hoped. HP82000 will only display on the HP console, and only if I run HP's installed version of X11R3. I also have X11R4 compiled for the HP (and installed entirely seperate from the HP X11), but hp82000 will not start up when using this server. The manual says that remote display is possible, but I am suspicious that this may only be true of the remote server is another HP running the HP R3 default server. Is this so?? HP-BASIC required the font hp8.8x16, which I simply aliased to 8x16. However, is still complains about a "Starbase Error", whatever that is. Also, when displaying HP-BASIC on a Sun server, the characters are echoed incorrectly. For example, typing "quit", echoes "W346" to the display. The rest of the display looks normal, except that the font is slightly different (of course). I can live with running HP's R3 server on the HP console (all of the other R4 clients display fine), but I would like to be able to display on remote servers, so that the HP-BASIC users can work simulataneously with the hp82000 users. Is there a solution to the above problems that I have missed in the manuals?? RTFM's are welcome -- I have looked, but found nothing helpful so far. Thanks in advance. W.
