Re: frames with exodus

It might be helpful to know exactly what errors you are getting...


First guess:  
check if your DISPLAY environment variable is set properly.

% printenv DISPLAY
godzilla2.acpub.duke.edu:1.0

My DISPLAY is set to localhost on a setting that ssh set up for me.  If
you're using telnet (I'd recommend looking into getting ssh and using it,
but that's another topic), you will need to set your DISPLAY variable:

% setenv DISPLAY $REMOTEHOST:0.0
% printenv DISPLAY
shanty.dorm.duke.edu:0.0

Now I can display things from the X server on my computer (shanty.dorm).


Next guess:
If you're getting other errors, such as Child-Thread-Death Exceptions (I
don't remember it exactly), you might need to download solaris fonts from
your X server provider's webpage (www.exodus.com - under a FAQ if it has 
one).
