Re-linking pop11 under SUSE 6.1 without Motif seems to work OK after moving
the termcap library back to usr/lib (it comes in its own sub directory for
some reason). However I have yet to get Motif up and running.

When running under 6.0 I had problems with running out of heap space (I seem
to remember a suggested fix which involved re-building the kernel with a
different heap size) - although I had the same problems with an earlier
Slackware version of Linux it was not so pronounced. As soon as I sort the
Motif problem out I will let you know if this is still the case.

Cheers,

Steve
