Hi all -

First, I apologize for asking what must be a very old question...

I just installed the Mouse-X package from McGill that I down-loaded from  
purdue on a Colour NeXTstation, naively thinking that it would probably  
work.  Actually, it does sort-of work - when I run it, it takes over the  
entire screen, as it should, and shows me eight miniature x-windows  
screens in eight different (vibrant) colours across the top of the screen,  
each about 1.5 inches square.  Then it opens xterms in all of them, and I  
can see by typing that they are actually working x-terminals, although  
they are way too small to be useful.  I suppose the reason I get eight  
smaller screens has something to do with the different screen  
architectures in color nextstations versus monochrome ones.

Anyway, from all of this, it is probably obvious what my question is - is  
there, and how do I get, a version of McGill's mouse-X that will run on my  
Colour NeXTStation - 25 ?

Thanks a lot, and, again, sorry if this is _really_ old. :--)
