Hi Ralf, I just had a quick look at a few systems, and unfortunately, on IRIX, /usr/sbin/jot exists and is a graphical text editor. It also does not exit with a non-zero exit code on failure, so e.g. DISPLAY=no_display; export DISPLAY in the tests won't help to catch it. Ugh. Peter -- Peter O'Gorman http://pogma.com
