- Steve,
-
- > Anyone had any luck running OpenWindows Version 3 on a Solbourne Series 5?
-
- Yes, you will need to run the newly released OS/MP 4.1A.3 and Solbourne's
- OpenWindows 3.0 release. There were a number of bug fixes required to make
- OW 3.0 run in an MP environment. Both of these should be available through
- your local Solbourne Sales Rep.
-
- > I get a SIG error when I try to run the xnews server.
-
- Yep! This has to do with a change in the way the xnews server does shared
- memory locking that occurred between OW 2.0 and OW 3.0.

-
- Yes, this should work just fine, however, you give up the xnews server font
- and postscript functionality. You will probably find the performance slightly
- better too.

-
- This has been fixed in OW 3.0.
