Glen, The IRIX GUI: Indigo Magic is proprietary. So it probably isn't going to be easy to learn outside of using an SGI. On the other hand, it is similar to most GUIs and isn't very difficult to learn. -Bill Glen Mead (gmead@io.org) wrote: : Hi All, : : I am currently getting access to an Indigo with Irix 5.2 on an occasional : basis.
