[Apologies for the two garbage posts.  I've seen other Netscape users'
posts get messed up like that, but mine have always worked until today.]

This is a weird one.

I haven't had any luck getting Executor/DOS to work for me under the new
Windows NT 4.0 beta (build 1234).  No problem, I can't expect to run all
beta programs and have them get along all the time.

But I'm also evaluating an X server for NT called eXalt (from Intergraph),
and I've been running a few apps on my Linux box, with the display going ,
to my X server on NT.  It's pretty good, and not all *that* slow.  eXalt ,
is an X11R5 implementation and it puts the X programs right alongside the
Windows programs, with them a Win95-looking window manager.  Cool.

So I tried running Executor/Linux with the display going to my NT box, and
it wouldn't start, giving me an error:

executor: XError `11': BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation) and
X_CreateCursor


I'm not sure what kind of resources X_CreateCursor needs, but I can say
that Executor is the only program I've found that gives this error.
Netscape 2.01 for Linux, which I'd consider a "resource" hog in general,
displays happily on eXalt.  I'm guessing I've found an eXalt bug, and I've
reported it to Intergraph, too, but I'm posting here in case somebody else
has run into the "BadAlloc with X_CreateCursor" bug on another X server.

Of course, other explanations or suggestions are also welcome.

Thanks,
Joe Thomas
