Going through old mails.

On a computer where I have BL3 and also glibc 2.2.5 (added later) ldd xset 
shows that it has both dependencies (libc.so.5 and libX11.so.6).  On my 
other BL3 computers I am always told that it is missing libX11.so.6 - no 
idea why.

The Abiword problem is now under control without needing to use BL3 xset 
and fudge libX11.so.6 - xsvga also works better for other reasons (Tseng 
does not crash like in Xvesa).

And now I know to add rgb.txt with 'Black' from BL3 to BL2 to make rxvt 
work there under regular X servers.

xv from SW71 does not work on the BL3 computer with  glibc2.2.5 added, it 
objects to the libX11.so.6 (from SW40) but the xv from SW4.0 works fine.

Opera won't install or even run (from its subdirectory) on this computer 
so I would probably need a newer libX11.so.6 and maybe others which I 
don't want to bother installing because everything else works and I don't 
want to break it.

We may get a chance to try connection to other people's networks on our 
trip since the pcmcia ethernet works.  Maybe we should try practicing 
first connection to a Windows network.
