I'd like to help you, but you need to follow the instructions for reporting problems with xboard. See the READ_ME file, the man page, or the FAQ file in the xboard distribution. The FAQ is also posted here monthly and can be found on my Web page. I can't tell what the problem or solution might be without the name of your machine and operating system (from "uname -a") and a typescript of the output from "xboard -debug". Use the script program to make a typescript; type "man script" for instructions. --Tim -- Tim Mann <mann@pa.dec.com> http://www.research.digital.com/SRC/personal/Tim_Mann/
