I'm in and out over this week so I just got around to responding. No, the error I get (still) if I try to Edit from startupui is "Connection to server blotz failed: Word too long
There is no eventual (one minute later) successful connection. I've been merrily producing lots of good DX output as long as I start up this same build with dx -edit. >Chris had reported problems with my 4.1.0 SGI binaries that when he >used the DX Startup Window, he could not Edit Visual Programs or run >samples from it. At the time I could not duplicate the problem. Now that >I have 4.1.1 running, I am experiencing a a similar problem. Everything >works fine if I start the VPE from the command line (dx -edit).
