Hello!

	I seem to have a very big problem with the X/PEX server we have over
here.  It's X11R5 with PEX-SI Phigs.  I tried running the examples in Tom
Gaskins' book and in a lot of cases the server crashes.  The system would
hang and then log me out.  Is this normal?  

	I've been able to get some of the examples running but is's so slow!
I'm using DECstation 500/120 and it looks slower than an apple II.  Is this
really how it should be?

	I tried using PEXlib from DEC though it compiles only after not
defining MPEX.  I've got PEXtk running too and it seems a lot faster though
in some cases the server crashes.  And in some of the example tests I just
can't figure out what it's supposed to be displaying. 

	Everything looks really full of bugs.  Though I suspect it's because
the Xserver was improperly installed.  Am I correct?  Or is there something
I'm missing.

Carlos

P.S.  I got the PHIGS toolkit running to but it really crawls on my machine.
And yes, the system crashes too.

P^2.S.  I've tried PEXIM and it seems to run fine, except for a minor fault
in some of the provided tests. 

P^3.S.  Anyone outhere who could lend me a hand?
