This has to do with HPUX 7.03 versus HPUX 7.05. We had a package
called MOLDFLOW running on 7.03. We updated to 7.05 and moldflow
would not run and kept giving a XOpenDisplay error. We changed the
DISPLAY variable to unix:0:0 from Balki:0:0 where Balki is the
name of our system. The package runs fine now.

Now the question. Why do I have to set DISPLAY in this version of
HPUX when I did no such thing to get it running on 7.03 ?? 

Right now, we set DISPLAY before we run the package. Is there any
forseeable problem in setting this in our login scripts ??

I ought to mention that Moldflow runs on top of X.

I would appreciate if anybody has clues to this, specially about
why this change after the update.

Thanks
