Hi,
I tried to invoke tlpmgui from an xterm but it sais:
+--------------------------------------------+
Error! tlpmgui require Xwindow
+--------------------------------------------+
Don't know how you test whether you are using X11. The easiest way is
to check whether the DISPLAY variable is set. This is not 100%
reliable but it should be sufficient. BTW., I think that the "X Window
system" is better known as "X11" in a UNIX environment and it is
probably better to say "tlpmgui requires X11". But this is a matter
of taste. If you ask 1000 people you'll get 1000 different suggestions.
$ file tlpmgui
tlpmgui: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.0.0, stripped
Of course, self-contained executables have a few advantages. But
isn't a Perl script more portable today on UNIX systems?
Cheers,
Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
