Anna..

Based on this:

Next stop, Openmap. Openmap was in English and I got a little further with it. But the program still got stumped when I put in that geology map. I'm starting to think that maybe there's something wrong with the geology map, even though I was able to open it on its own under ArcExplorer. Oh, and Openmap made all of my xterms all funky --- they changed from filling up 2/3 of the screen and being white type on a black background to filling up 1/5 of my screen and being black type on a gray background. Ugly.

I'm pleased to award you your official linux geek diploma. It's been a while coming, I know. :-)

(PS, you might want to look and see if openmap did anything to the .Xresources file in your home directory when you installed it.)
