Wow! What a response. Sure beats waiting on hold for an hour to talk to some 
idiot at Microsoft. Your recomendation right on. I might have stumbled into the 
tar step in unpacking a file sometime next week. When they said the learning 
curve for Unix is steeeeep I had no idea.

At any rate Geomview up and running. At first glance it looks much more powerful 
than Mathlive and the price is right!

I'm sure you know but just in case: The Tim Rowley version needs files that are 
not available in the Slackware 2.3 distribution of Linux kernel 1.2.8. The 
message I got when executing Tim's version said "Unable to load shared library 
libXt.so.6" Checking my system I find in /lib, libXt.so.3.1.0

Fortunately I still had the Linux version from the pub/software/geomview archive 
and that seems to work with my Linux distibution.

Yes, I promise to register!
