   In Mike's case the problem is a bug in olgx, the OPEN LOOK
graphics library.  It only happens in monochrome and it only happens
when you have a glyph of some sort.  His interface had a glyph in a 
button and he has a monocrome monitor.  If your stack trace ends
up in olgx_draw_text, you're being bit.

   I know that the bug is fixed in OpenWindows V3.  There is rumored
to be a patch, I'm looking around for it.

   As for Frank's problem, I'm not sure what is going on.  The release
engineering group builds things in a directory /proto/... but Devguide
never tries to do anything there.  The only information that would
have that is the stamp from ld.  Is your application finding all
the XView, olgx, and X11 libraries correctly?  Try "ldd myapp".
