RE: New package for testing: OpenDX

[Nicholas Wourms <nwourms at yahoo dot com>]

Harold,

I've been playing with this one too.  First, the INSTALL document in
/usr/X11R6/doc/dx-4.1.3 is a 0-byte file.  I'm also wondering if you
shouldn't make a /etc/profile.d to setup the necessary environmental
variables?

Cheers,
Nicholas
