Below is a copy of instructions Prof. Geoff Nunes wrote for accessing our UNIX L-Edit from a PC using X-Win32( link to his document):

Using the Unix version of L-Edit.

The following are instructions for using the Unix version of L-Edit. They are not actually instructions on L-Edit itself. For that, borrow a manual from Nunes.

Initial Set Up (one time only stuff)

Sit at one of our PC's with X-Win32 installed. The latest version is 4.1.2.
telnet to the Northstar machine germain
edit (emacs is good) your .cshrc.local file (or create one) to have the following two lines:

alias egeus 'exec xterm -geom 80x24+0+0 -ls -display egeus:0'

alias ledit '/usr/tanner/bin.hp700/ledit &'

Copy the file ledit.tdb from my account to yours. If you plan to do all your mask work in a directory called mymasks, the command (assuming mymasks exists) is

cp ~gnunes/public/ledit.tdb ~/mymasks

Every time

Launch X-Util32
Click on the Colors menu and verify that "PseudoColor support in TrueColor mode" is selected.
Launch X-Win32
Use your favorite telnet application to login to germain. cd to your chosen working directory.
Type egeus (or whatever). In a few moments, an xterm window should appear on your desktop.
In the xterm window, type ledit. An L-Edit window should appear.
You might want to read the X-Win32 help file about 3-button mouse support/emulation, since you need a 3-button mouse to use this version of L-Edit.

Problems

If an L-Edit window fails to appear, and after a minute or so you get a message like

>LicenseServ: Cannot talk to the LicenseServ server on host >>localhost<<

Server not running??

polite

If you get a message that looks like

germain >Can't get 16 colors in 4 planes, using B/W

X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
