Ah, thanks for letting me know, we neglected to change the links after the
latest upgrade. It's fixed now.

Which OOGL files are these? You shouldn't need to manually download
any OOGL files at all for the demo. Following a link to an OOGL file
when the setup is properly installed just brings it up in Geomview, so
saving to disk should not be an issue.

Hmmmm. This happens when you just type "geomview" from the
command line? What binary file did you end up manually downloading?
The right one would have been either the symlink geomview-hp.tar.Z or
its target geomview-1.5.0-hp.tar.Z. I know very little about the
installation of the X versions, I'm forwarding this in hopes that the
X hackers might know what's going on.

Sorry about the snags, perhaps we can track down the problems before
Seth leaves.
