Indeed it does. You are the third person to try texx in the last year,
when I dropped support of it. I will clean out the binary sometime
soon, so we stop getting these complaints.
TeXx was dropped because
1) it was very slow starting up, and had resource allocation problems
2) it doesn't deal at all with color
3) I had improved xdvi enough that it was a better program.
