- Hi all -
-
- First, I apologize for asking what must be a very old question...
-
- I just installed the Mouse-X package from McGill that I down-loaded from
- purdue on a Colour NeXTstation, naively thinking that it would probably
- work. Actually, it does sort-of work - when I run it, it takes over the
- entire screen, as it should, and shows me eight miniature x-windows
- screens in eight different (vibrant) colours across the top of the screen,
- each about 1.5 inches square. Then it opens xterms in all of them, and I
- can see by typing that they are actually working x-terminals, although
- they are way too small to be useful. I suppose the reason I get eight
- smaller screens has something to do with the different screen
- architectures in color nextstations versus monochrome ones.
-
- Anyway, from all of this, it is probably obvious what my question is - is
- there, and how do I get, a version of McGill's mouse-X that will run on my
- Colour NeXTStation - 25 ?
-
- Thanks a lot, and, again, sorry if this is _really_ old. :--)
