Helo sir Thanks for the mail, but unfortunately, I recieved the same error as before. Here is what I did: I launched XWin32 utils, went to Options>Display. The 'available IP add" is 10.10.3.23 (which is the IP of my computer). The other one was proxy. 10.10.3.23 was already selected. First, I tried: "export DISPLAY=10.10.3.23:0" and then "xpat &". I was already in the dir. where my file is. I got the msg: administrateur@FILCH /c/modules/test $ @@@@ @@@@ @@ @ @ @@ @ @@ @@ @ @@@ @@@ @@@@ @@ @@ @@@ @@ @@ @ @@@@@@@@ @@ @@ @@ @@ @@ @@ @@@ @@ @@ @@@@@ @@ @ @@ @@ @@ @@ @@ @@ @ @@ @@ @@ @@ @@ @@ @ @@ @@@ @@ @@ @@@ @@ @ @@@ @@@@ @@ @@@ @@@@ @@ @@@@ @@ @@@@ Graphic Pattern Viewer Alliance CAD System 4.5.0, xpat 1.03 Copyright (c) 1999-2001, ASIM/LIP6/UPMC Author(s): Ludovic Jacomme Contributor(s): Julien Dunoyer E-mail support: alliance-support@asim.lip6.fr Xsb: Parameters file /usr/local/alliance/archi/Cygwin/etc/xpat.par can't be opened Next, I used the proxy option and typed: 192.168.x.x, and then did a export DISPLAY=192.168.x.x:0, tried xpat & again and still the same error. By the way sir, my Alliance is installed on a single PC(just on my computer), not on a server; and the XWin32 version I installed is :-- x-win411.exe found at :http://asim.lip6.fr/pub/alliance/distribution/latest/redist/windows/ What else can I do sir, to use xpat and then graal. Actually it worked before, however it began giving errors once I installed the new Alliance 4.5 version at http://asim.lip6.fr/pub/alliance/unstable/distribution/ (Alliance 2001 - 145MB) Thanks Giie __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ fabrice ilponse <fabrice@asim.lip6.fr> wrote: Francois DONNET wrote: > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Subject: > > Re-Re: XPAT & XSCH > From: > > GIIE > Date: > > Wed, 5 Dec 2001 05:29:29 -0800 (PST) > To: > > Francois DONNET > > > Thanks sir for your reply, > > I made some changes, however its still the same.

Hope you can help > It is installed but have you lauched it? If so, lauch xwin32 utils, go to option->display and use the IP address shown. It should be something like 192.168.x.x, then do export DISPLAY=192.168.x.x:0 and it should work. If your IP if different from 192.168.x.x the version found on the asim site won't work...
