This will be a bit tricky- about all I know how to do with this is
bring up the main GUI. The release notes state:
"Displaying any sort of solid object (solid models, surfaces, proximity
selectors) on an Indy running 6.2 will not work- either the object may
not be displayed or there may be a crash. This is fixed by SGI patch number
3171. The same problem occurss with IRIX 6.4 SI graphics and is fixed by
installing patch number 3154. The problem does not occurr with IRIX 6.5".
I can try to install it and get help from someone to generate an example that
should trigger the problem. Would you perfer to wait until then before
proceeding?
