I've found the xviewg source at www.debian.org. However, it requires libc6
which requires the kind of expertise that I don't have yet to install nicely.
So I think I'll leave it all for a while unless somebody knows an easier way
to libc6 than from source (I couldn't find it in the CS1.2 RPM tree).

thanks
Dan

.I don't believe /usr/X11R6/bin/xview has anything to do with xview as
.you are referring to it. The XView that came from Sun is a user-interface
.tool kit that consists of some libraries and header files.

.I am not aware of an XView port being included in the YDL distributions,
.but then again I have never made a point of looking for it ;)
