Although, IIUC, the export issue is no longer valid (this protocol uses DES), Wraphelp.c, which contains the implementation, is not distributed with the X sources. Fortunately, it's pretty easy to find a copy. :-) You should also back up /etc/X11 while you're at it. -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (Remove "bogus" before responding.) behanna@bogus.zbzoom.net I was raised by a pack of wild corn dogs.
