A couple o' questions

Here is a miscellaneous list of Sun questions that I hope readers may be
able to help me with. All the questions relate to a SparcStation1+GX
running OS 4.1-GFX-Rev.1.

(1) Does anyone have an appropriate psrc file for the ralpage postscript
    previewing package in the Rice archive?

(2) Has anyone managed to get dvipage working with the above
    configuration; I get bus errors whenever I try to load a dvi file.

(3) I have installed X11 and it works perfectly for root. However, for any
    other user (with the identical .cshrc, .xinitrc etc.) ld.so complains
    "ld.so: libXaw.so.4: not found" on starting.  If I start from root and
    then switch user everything is OK.

(4) Since hacking the GENERIC kernel to make it smaller I find that the
    Sunview pointer arrow persists at its last position when I exit from
    Sunview. I cannot clear it, and it is frozen until Sunview is re-entered.
    What shouldn't I have deleted?

(5) Finally, I wonder if anyone can provide me with feedback about
    molecular graphics packages or Mathematica on the Sun?

    Thanks in advance,
                      David Wales
