etc...

There is a newer beta version of Geomview that should work under your
16 bit display. To use it, don't delete your current Geomview
directory tree. Just ftp to ftp.geom.umn.edu and grab:

/priv/daeron/bin/gvx.linux.gz

After unzipping it, use this file to replace your currently installed
gvx binary. It should work then.

good luck,
Daeron
