Any fixes yet ? To run the client application on the remote host and view the output on the NeXT, you must either define the DISPLAY environment variable to route the output to your machine (hostname:0.0) or specify the -d hostname:0.0 option on the command line when staring the remote program. See the X(1) manual page. -Robert .______________________________________________________________________________. | | | _____ __ _____ Robert Frank | | | / | Institut fuer Informatik | | | | | University of Basel, Switzerland | | | -+- | | | | | | Mittlere Strasse 142 | | __|__ | __|__ CH-4056 Basel | | | | frank@urz.unibas.ch tel. + (061) 321 99 67 fax + (061) 321 99 15 | |______________________________________________________________________________|
