Hi,

Here is my summary:

How to use Macx to run Felix2.3

Don't use it! (correct me if I am wrong.)

It looks like macx have given people lot of pain when they tried
to run felix version 2.3 or up.

It seems to me a program called Exodus ($148 with educational
discount) may be better and is much easier to configure
according to the e-mails I received.

I got macx from Mosaic (nice network program).

If one wants run X- on PC
Linux is available via anonymous FTP from tsx-11.mit.edu or
sunsite.unc.edu.

For those people have not been able to get graphics from macx
here is a simple solution.

1, Open macx and forget it.
2, Open NCSA-telnet and connect telnet to your network
(remote workstation).
3a, After telnet connect to your SGI through network. type:
'winterm'
or
'xwsh'
or
... whatever x-window you like.
now you can run graphic program within these windows
3b, After connection to the network just type graphic program
name such as
xv (xview program)

Good luck
