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. :--) Thomas burkhold@gdss.commerce.ubc.ca
