 We never managed to figure out how to create a socket which works with
 read() and write(), and changing the code to use Windows-specific
 equivalents was too much work. In 7.0, monitors have been removed
 entirely.

 You should be able to start a command-line session then start the GUI with
 g.gui. Or look for an image viewer which has an option to automatically
 re-load the file if it is modified, and use it to view the map.png file
 created by d.* commands.
