1) I was able to run ez without problem, except that all the scrollbars and
cursors were wrong. This is typical when you don't have the right fonts loaded.
Andrew applications require special fonts to run properly.
2) I could reporoduce the unaligned access problem on when running messages from
a vax on the screen of a ds3100. The error is in the routine mfbDoBitblt but
I don't know where. I suspect that the problem may be related to the font
problem, so first effort should be to get ez up and running.
As a side note: snf fonts on an RT are not compatible with a vax and do not
appear to compatible with a DS3100. You really need the proper fonts.alias and
the bdf forms before what you were trying to do will work.
