how to launch program though telnet
I have launched telnet on nt and have connected to a unix server,
I'm trying to run a program on the unix server which will launch a gui, but when I try to launch it
I get the message
"display not set\n"
"By default set it to 0.0"
I can sit down at the unix machine and launch the program with no problem,
I"m guessing it's possible , but I think I'm missing something rudimentrary here,
any help is appreciated , Thanks

first off, i don't know a lot about this, but what i can figure out from my machine here at work is that DISPLAY is an environment variable; try setting it to YOUR_IP:0.0

it sounds like you are trying to run a Xwindow app ... you need to have a Xwindows server running on your PC, export the DISPLAY to your PC's IP address and the run the app on the Unix server ... look at Cygwin if you don't have Exceed to get your Xwindows server
