I prefer graphical tools, knowing very well the "price" of the use of graphics. I am one of those that programmed a 6800 microprocessor based system typing on a VT52...

After about ten trials, there was a lot of messages like: Récupération de la référence externe dans 'xxxx' Référence externe extraite à la révision 1258108 (Recovery in the external reference 'xxxx' External reference to the revision 1258108 extracted) but nothing looking like an error message. Now, I have a 2.7Go (2904303007) directory containing 334567 files, and 70478 sub directories. I downloaded QT3 and have a qt-x11-free-3.3.8b directoty of 62.8 Mo. The man:patch shows a lot of options (related of the version of the diff file for the less). Could you confirme that puting the file qt3_3.3.8c.diff in the qt-x11-free-3.3.8b directory, then in a Konsol: cd /...../qt-x11-free-3.3.8b patch < qt3_3.3.8c.diff Will be OK? Before compiling and installing, I would like to know if it is possible, at the time of login, to choose the window manager between a "Trinity for the test" and "Trinity for the work"? I guess that the best would be a "Trinity for the test" running in a virtual system, but one of the last bug posted let me think that the testing is not so complet, on a virtual system. Good luck to everyone, Patrick
