Dear World,

I've got a couple of questions, actually.

I've written an XView application that I'm trying to get to display on
a DECstation 3100, by running it on a Sun and specifying
"-display decstation:0."

I'm getting Bad Atom errors (and the program's crashing).  I've tried
it with both twm and DECwindows.  We're running X11R4.  When I run
olwm from the same Sun, and route its display to the DEC, I can
usually run the problem program successfully, but not always, and
never on a color DECstation.

So, I'm thinking the problem is somewhere in the ICCCM compatibility.

First question: is it?

I'm trying to recompile the XView 2.0 libraries with PRE_R4_ICCCM set
to YES.  The compile blew up:

   make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `xv_icccm.o'

I did a "find" on "*icccm*" and found nothing.

2nd question: can someone tell me what the fix for this is?

Thanks in advance.

John.
