    I have Cygwin/XFree86 running on my WINNT4.0 workstation and also have the
    companion NCAR graphics package. Trouble is, I can't get the NCAR graphics
    to display on my machine after I run the example agex01 and create the
    metafile.

    I have verified my IP address is correct.

    Anyone out there have any suggestions to troubleshoot this?

    Thanks in advance for any insight you can provide,
    JL Bixby
