Re: Xclients don't work in win2K

[Andrew Markebo <flognat at flognat dot myip dot org>]

Just a thought.. doesn't the xterm seem to report error _BEFORE_ the
X-server is up and running?? 

Try to add a 'pause' in the batch-file, before starting the xterm,
pressing enter in that window when the x-server is up and running?
