We use Hummingbird X servers on NT to connect to a Solaris box. The only
problem we've had so far is that Developer/2000 would coredump when running
the layout editor in both Forms and Reports. The work around is to disable the
andrew fonts for the X server.
Note that we got the work around to this from Hummingbird, NOT Oracle. Oracle support wouldn't so much as look at the core dump file. So if you run into problems, Oracle's attitude will be "Screw you, we don't support it!" (Phrased more politely, of course :-)) Received on Sat May 25 1996 - 00:00:00 CEST
