[McIDAS #QHK-962400]: FRNTDISP: error from m0wtxget -41001

Hi Marty,

A couple of things...

I ran into the same thing last night (this was the snag that I referred
to yesterday), and took a slightly different approach:

I changed the test to see which version of TR to use to use the
[:class:] syntax.  The reason for this way of checking is that
the version of TR in /usr/xpg4/bin supports the [:class:]
syntax, while the TR in /usr/local/bin does not.  The thing I need
to do is use the appropriate syntax for the version of TR
used.  This will be in the first v2009 addendum.

Just so you now: I am struggling to find the cause for the
core dumps being experienced by the ADDE Text server wtxgserv.
I will be working on this throughout the day and will let
you know when a fix has been implemented.  This problem is
strange since I do not see it on another user's Solaris 10
x86_64 system!?

Cheers,

Tom
