RE: Applixware 4.41 on potato?
Hi Greg,
I think you're right - it's the libc version.
On the 4.4.1 CD, it provides two versions of Applix for Linux - one for each
of the "new" and "old" libc's (the in-cd booklet shows this using Red Hat 4
and Red Hat 5).
Have you tried installing the "new" one? (maybe try the "Red Hat 5.x"
instead of the Slackware install)
I don't use 4.4.1 anymore, as I upgraded to v5 - sorry!
HTH,
Mike.
