This is very alarming. I don't know anyone else who has tried 7.3
have you tried recompiling the poplog X widget stuff
$usepop/pop/com/mkXpw
Or perhaps relink everything?
$usepop/pop/src/newpop -link
This assumes that you have
$usepop/pop/pop/corepop
$usepop/pop/pop/newpop.psv
it's just possible (but unlikely) that you will have to rebuild
newpop.psv (and other saved images).
See this file
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/sysdoc/rebuilding
Or this script
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/tools/relinking.linux.poplog
If those measures do not fix your problem it may be worth
investigating to see whether the problem lies with Xved or with any
use of X in poplog. E.g. can you compile and use LIB rc_graphic
uses popxlib
uses rc_graphic
rc_start();
If you can't do anything, try re-linking poplog not to use motif
(are you using motif?) and see if that helps.
As a last resort put print commands throughout the xvesetup
procedure (in $usepop/pop/x/ved/src/xvedsetup.p )
1 =>
2 =>
etc. so that you can see see how far it gets before crashing.
(you'll have to rebuild startup.psv or else start from basepop11
and compile xved).

We use a system that works across a variety of platforms, using the
format specified in
