HI Guys,

it turns out xhost+ is the magic.B  Not much so far, but I'm able to show
Xclock running on the Sparc10 but displaying on the Ubuntu machine,
Xterm too.

Somewhere in my library of 8mm tapes is a bunch of x(things) which came
with one of those application collections which Sun used to issue on
CD's to entice sales.

I have Frame running on the Sparc and had hoped to run it in X-Windows
but I suspect that even though that was supported on the version I have,
It will not be easy without manual guidance.B  My SparcPrinter I still
works and this would be a good way to use up all the toner I bought for
it.B  The red-window display on the printer no -longer works but
otherwise the thing prints nicely.

So thanks for the ideas.

best,

John ferguson
