- Thanks Rick. The "fragmented pixmap space" problem seems
- to be resolvable by one of the following two solutions:
-
- 1. Buy more memory for the NCD X terminal
-
- and/or
-
- 2. Reboot the X terminal
-
- Rebooting the terminal causes Decw$paint to behave as
- it should.
-
- Thanks again for all your help!
