So, that is why I am getting an error. Apart from that I get the XWindow and everything else working OK. So that side of it is fine. I believe that I either got my version directly from Phoebus, by email, at the time, or he directed me to the other files needed like Cygwin. If Phoebus can still be contacted I am sure he will be able to help with sorting out a working version on your PC system. Just to say, as well, the advantage of "uqlx" is that it is a port that can work on many Operating Systems. -- Malcolm Cadman _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
