 |I tried to compile a recent (last weeks CVS) version of Dx on SGI and 
 |when I do a 'reset view' (^F) the object zooms out to just a single dot. 
 |I have to zoom in LOTS (~20) of times to get it back into view.

 |- this does not happen in the 4.1.3 release on SGI.
 |- this does not happen with the same CVS source on Linux, DEC or Solaris.

 |Anybody any ideas?

Is it possible there's some peripheral data in your dataset that wasn't
there before?  Try piping your data into ShowBox -> Print("rd").

 |2. has anybody ever ported Dx to IRIX64 mode? When we hack the Makefiles 
 |and build it the min,max of all interactors are something like 1E-312 
 |(and nothing works as a result).

I assume you mean compiled for the -64 ABI.  I submitted patches a while
back to get it to build with -64, but didn't get back to testing and
debugging.  

Sure would be useful though, letting us handle large datasets in SMP mode I
think.

Are you intererested in helping with a port?  I could devote some time as
well as it would be a value-add here.  We're frequently bumping into the
memory ceiling and implementing various caching, import, and rendering
hacks to work around this.
