Sciences, Lexington KY Lines: 32 I'm having a strange problem on my 3b1. I'm running version 3.51a of almost everything, I'm using the old uucico because the system kept crashing with the new one in place. But this problem has nothing to do with uucico. What happens is that /etc/wmgr core-dumps when run. During boot-up I can see it make the |w| icon up in the corner of the screen, one strange thing is that there is a cursor in that little window AND that if I start /etc/wmgr by hand the cursor disappears from the main screen. The |w| icon only lasts for about 10 seconds and then goes away. Now, of course I can't do any of the screen type functions since there isn't anything listening for those events .. so I'm stuck with basically one screen. Every other part of the system is in good order and working fine. For instance the window driver works fine ... I can call up the phone manager without problem & etc. Any ideas? I've done a little bit of checking. Like the /etc/wmgr file itself is the exact same file that was distributed on the floppies. I've gone through /etc/rc & such and don't see where something might be executing out of order. Perhaps its as simple as a syntax error in one of the user agent files? I'm extremely busy right now with finishing the semester so I can graduate and I'm just living with the problem. But if anybody can give me an idea of what to look at I'll be eternally grateful. -- <-- David Herron; an MMDF guy<-- ska: David le casse\*' {rutgers,uunet}!ukma!david, david@UKMA.BITNET <-- <-- By Michelle betrayed!
