Greetings, This is perhaps the wrong forum for these queries, but, if nothing else, it'll be a good jumping off point. Here goes... 1) I recently ftp'd the xv-3.10a .tgz file, decompressed it, and type make. it cruised along fine for a while and then died while trying to find /X11/Xlib.h and a few other similar header-type files. My question is, how do I acquire those needed files? My /usr/X11R6 directory has bin, man, lib, and include directories in it. Am I missing a source directory or something? 2) In specifying command line parameters for my xterms in .xinitrc, I've finally discovered how to make scroll-bars with a big buffer automatically start on the xterm. What I haven't been able to ascertain is how to use the -fn switch such that a bigger font is the default. I tried "-fn large" but I think it needs a font name and/or size. How do I find out what font is being used, then tell it to make it bigger? Thanks for the help. regards, Scott Northcutt -- AD4JR
