Hi Marty, A couple of things... re: > FYI: I built mcidas2009, on this Solaris box, I needed to change > some code related to the TR command in cal_init and nav_init in order > to get past a compile error that was happening in kbprep.for. > > The problem in cal_init and nav_init was with the TR command.

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!?
