The source is on the regular Mosaic ftp server, but in /bina/outgoing. I downloaded the source and the Sun binary, but the Sun binary dumps core when I pull down the options menu. It is doing some kind of out of segment memory access. I have not tried to recompile it and have not previously posted this because of the level of noise and anger. If there is some bug that is fundamental to the source it would be nice to get it fixed for those of us who do not have/like/want motif on our systems but who like Xmosaic. I would like to know if the problem shows up in another environment than SunOS 4.1.3. Please report back your experience. -- R.Stewart(Stew) Ellis, Assoc.Prof., (Off)313-762-9765 ___________________ Humanities & Social Science, GMI Eng.& Mgmt.
