    Dear Takmeng Wong,

    I just responded to this group about attempting a Linux RedHat 7.1
    port, and this is another system that I have on my list. I tried
    several months ago to install Cygwin and XFree86, but didn't have much
    luck with XFree86 (Cygwin seemed to be okay). My machine kept hanging
    and I wasn't getting any work done, so I decided to wait until I could
    upgrade my system.

    The system upgrade has occurred, now I just need to find some free
    time. :-)

    If anybody wants to insert pearls of wisdom on a Cygwin/XFree86 port
    of NCAR Graphics, I'm all ears!

    Thanks,
