DT,
If you can get to the database using grass4.1, but not xgrass4.1, then
maybe you need to add the pathname of the database to the file
"databases" in /disk5/GRASS4.1/etc. I'm not very familiar with
xgrass, but you might try that.
As for the IRIX 5.2 version - it just doesn't seem necessary to me
to make yet another GRASS binary release since the IRIX 4.0.5 binaries
should run fine under IRIX5.2, but if there was an IRIX 5.2 binary
release, it wouldn't run under IRIX 4.0.5.
