4877.0. "novice questions on MIR access from non-root accounts" by CSC32::J_WIELAND () Wed Apr 14 1993 10:24

Novice Questions,
ultrix 4.2 with MCRBMS123

1) is there anyway to modify the original domain when the world backdrop is
being used so that the entire worldd map, not just sections are displayed in
the window?

2) If not running from the root account, access errors occur when trying to
access certain domains out of the MIR.   Something like this..

MIR:mcc_dns_representative, now owned

any clues on how to get around this?

thanks in advance

4877.1I can scale a backdrop for youTOOK::R_SPENCENets don't fail me now...Wed Apr 14 1993 10:5115
    To see the whole world in the MAP window (as different from what you
    have which shows the world in the navigation window and only part
    in the map window) you need a different backdrop.
    
    Send me mail ( TOOK::R_SPENCE ) to remind me (I am not in the office at
    the moment) and I will scale a world map down to map window size.
    
    Be sure to let me know (roughly) how big your map window is compared
    to the whole screen and also the navigation window. Also, where in
    the navigation window space oyu want it located (most people have the
    default location - upper left - but I don't want to assume...).
    
    Someone else will have to address the second question.
