textcan.ps for the SGI, CyberSpace throws SGI into a Black HoLe

[Pete Delaney]

	 Using NeWS on the SGI is interesting.  First to get the textcan
code to start working I had to add a dictionary to the Reshape callback
proceedure even though Sun is assuming that there should have been space
in the class dictionary.  I looked in the XSIGHT documentation but couldn't
find anything about such fundamential change.  Anyone know what been changed? 


	Then I ran into a Black Hole, NO NeWS Server Source.  Of course
with the X11/R3 server I can run the server core into xdbx and do 
something reasonable, but with the NeWS server I'm ..., well you know...


The Server crashed with what obviously is a segment violation after displaying
the StructItem for the Stack and the dialog-item TextStructItem.  The 
details left on the floor are very informative :)

Is there anything I can do, like try to provide the ADB registers from the
core?  

I also tried the browser on the Silicon Graphics.  The text is chopped up.
I tried a few other fonts and it didn't help.  I think I swa this before
but I can recall wat it was.  Any suggestions?

How is the X11/News server going for the SGI?
