Thanks.  The cvs version runs the examples OK.  At least, it does so
on Linux, Solaris, and IRIX.  But not Digital (Compaq Tru64) UNIX.

Instead I get (client):

and (server):

This is "OSF1 V4.0 878 alpha" and "OSF1 V5.0 1094 alpha" (built with
gcc-2.95.2/3 on V4.0).

Is anyone out there using ORBit-0.5.7 on Compaq/Digital?

Thanks for your help.
