I understand the X environment |> is under beta test at this time, and will be released real soon now. I have APT-Workbench 4.0.2 and it runs under X. It looks just like the Sunview version but is an X application. I use the following start-up script. #!/bin/csh # # xapt - start up the Sybase APT-Workbench # # usage: xapt csh -c "setenv TERM x11; apt&" Sybase does not use the common xterm as a terminal type so you need to redefine TERM to x11. I'll go ahead and list the version numbers off the rest of my distribution if it will help with Customer Service.
