Hi,

In the recent past, i have made three attempts to compile and execute
grass on PC. BUt, unfortunately, everytime, this has proved unsucessful.
Though, it compiles with a few changes here and there, it fails to run
properly. The text part is displayed, but graphics monitor is never started.
I have tried to obtain information from various sources, but to no avail.
I seems to be heading for dead-end.

I have decided to give it another try, sometime next week. I earnestly
look for some advise, as to what is wrong with my setup.

I am trying to compile and execute grass 4.0, downloaded last year,
( I know, it is too old, but with 4800 baud rate connection to internet ),
It is very difficult  to download latest version, (Though i will do so,
if i am able to get it work ),
on an intel 80486, 33MhZ with 32 MB RAM.
I am using SVGA Color monitor, with card having 256KB RAM.
That allows 640x480 resolution with 16 colors.
I have the X11R4 and OPEN LOOK, X reports 4 planes and 16 simultaneous colors.

Is there something wrong with my setup?
Should i give it another try or not?

AS i am not on the list, kindly send your suggestions etc on following address

I have posted on both grass-p, as well as grass-u. Apologies to all of you
who have received it twice, but you know, how desperate i am.

Prabhat
