I second Michael's situation. I am stuck with getting the old SGI system to work in this case - . So many thanks for the info Michael I will let you know if that works out.
Hi Bill I have not seen the Zalman for sale at the price you give of $270. I looked around a while ago for a good price but I think the cost was around $500.

I seem vaguely to remember some non-canonical naming of the files. What happens if you make a symbolic link from the one you have to the one that is required? As I recall, coot on an SGI (at least on my R10000, which I think has a processor almost as fast as that in my generation A iPod touch) was impossibly slow. By contrast, I can run the very latest svn revision of coot in stereo on a $270 Zalman monitor attached to a $600 mac mini. I'm sorry this doesn't answer your question, but I think an ancient version of coot on an ancient computer will just be a world of hurt. -- Bill William G.
