Hello there Greg!

Humm, can't get no help, might as well give it to myself;)

AND give it to others...

In a Ditty of <Saturday February 27 1993>, Greg Naber says to All:

 GN> In looking around the latest SLS release and working with OLM, I
have
 GN> run across a few missing files and various errors.

 GN> missing files:

 GN> xboard, xedit, spider, othello, puzzle,

Added...

 GN> errors:

 GN> 1). on start-up of OLM, it complains about a missing file:

 GN> System Warning: No such file or directory, extras menufile
 GN> /usr/lib/.text_extra s_menu (Textsw package)

Fixed...

 GN> 2). on start up of xmahjongg:

 GN> can't open layout file

Fixed...

 GN> 3). on startup of xtetris:

 GN> Warning: cannot convert string "stripe4" to type Pixmap
 GN> Warning: cannot convert string "gray" to type Pixmap

 GN> X error of failed request: Bad Pixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
 GN> Major Opcode of failed request: 0x180003c

Fixed...

 GN> 4). when starting xconsole the message:

 GN> couldn't open console

 GN> System Warning: Object 0x11840, Device or resource busy, ioch
TIOCONS
 GN> returned -1, attempt to make tty the consloe failed (Ttypackage)

Oh wells, can't fix them all...

 GN> errors 3 & 4 occur under TWM also.

Get xother.tpz on sunsite in incoming, or in ~pub/linux/SLS/MISC on
halcyon.com, it will fix all of these errors on a stock SLS x
distribution.
