I can only offer help with the data path. DX needs an envinromental variable set, DXDATA. this can be set in your shell to .../samples4.0/data/ or by editing the file ../dx/bin/dxworker. Also in ../dx/bin/dxworker the variable DXROOT should be set to where you installed the dx directory. Make sure the path to the dx executable in .../dx/bin is in your path statement.
Two comments on server disconnect: I find if I run dx on one machine and display on another, it disconnects frequently. If anything else is running, netscape or emacs for example, it won't execute without disconnecting. Why? I have no idea. -Randy > Similar problems exist with data paths.
