Hi folks...

There seem to be a number of opinions on Sol2.4 and v.digit.
e.g.

Well, apparently the v.digit program doesn't work with under Solaris 2.4.
This is probably true for all System V operating systems. So you were right
about using the v.digit2 program instead.

...on the other hand...

Yes, I have this setup running OK (with a Genitizer GT1812 though)

So, can anyone elaborate? Any ideas on what conditions must be met in
order to make v.digit go under s2.4?

I've got a Kurta XGT, and it works with arc/info, so I know the comms
is OK. In v.digit all I get is 'digitizer read error'.

Thanks
