 I just compiled the Motif version xmgr, and it was also getting
floating point exception. The trouble was that several files were
missing the prototype for atof(). I added #include <stdlib.h> to
all files using atof() and it worked fine after that.

 If this doesn't help the Xview version you can email me.
