Hi everybody
The current thread about twelve students using GRASS reminded me
of a problem we have: we run GRASS on a SUN (SunOS 4.x) and we would
like to use it remotely on other machines (e.g. HP).
GRASS itself is no problem - xterm works fine. However, we can't
open a monitor. Is there any way of passing a DISPLAY argument
to XDRIVER so the monitor window appears on the local machine?
Any pointers welcome (including hacks to the XDRIVER code)?
Martin

I don't have a system set up where I can really test this properly, but I
would have thought that you could set the DISPLAY environment variable
before calling d.mon. You could put the variable assignment and the
d.mon-call in a subshell, say using shell parentheses. Let me know if that
doesn't work.
