I originally had problems with XOpenDisplay (and thus xlib display open:, and thus
viewManager open:) not working immediately. It would usually work the second or third try.
James Nobel's navel code tried 25 times before giving up.
I have since moved from being on the immediate subnet of the SparcStation I was running on,
to being somewhat more remote... across campus. The good news is that I have my own NCD X
terminal, and a portion of a little used Sparc II to play, the bad news is that I can no
longer get XOpenDisplay to work.
I'm wondering if the reasons behind the original problem had to do with some kind
of non-blocking that was done to the socket?
(for those curious about why I've moved, finger this account, or try: http://spiff.carleton.ca:8001/)
