My apologies if I missed the answer to these questions previously.
Please respond directly to me <austin_at_atmos.umd.edu> if you can
help, and if there is sufficient interest I'll summarize.

        1.) Is there a way to 'setenv DISPLAY' to more than
                one display (ie to many displays in a classroom)?

        2.) Where can I find the latest versions that will
                *compile AND run* on Digital Unix 3.2b, for:
                TeX, LaTeX, Ghostview, Ghostscript, perl, elm.
                ( I can't get perl, elm, or Ghostview to compile and
                  I can't find the distrib point for Tex, LaTeX)

        3.) Why is it that PINE works on CDE, but mail, mailx
                and dtmail can't function properly. (they can
                read the mail, but can't delete massages
                "mailx: cannot lockf /usr/spool/mail/austin")
                - again PINE works fine.

        4.) Is there anything wrong with running yp on a system
                of about 70 Alphas?? (One primary and 2 secondary servers)

        5.) Is dtwm the only window manager that will run in CDE?

        6.) Is there a way to convert mail folders from the Ultrix
                'dxmail' format to something that PINE will
                understand?

        7.) Has anyone tried the newest SoftWindows for DU 3.2b?
                (will it run in TrueColor? current version
                won't run on my 600 5/266 unless we run in
                -vclass PseudoColor.......)

Many thanks in advance for any answers or pointers on where
to find the answers.
