Hello,
I have recently installed the entire Cywin package on my Dell Dimension
3000, Windows XP. It works fine until I run xmgrace, or xfig. Then I
get the error message "cannot open display". I have tried "export
DISPLAY=localhost:0.0", and "startxwin.bat". They give me the message
below:
Any advice you can send me will be most welcome.
Thanks,
Richard Goldstein (bg573@lafn.org)
