Here's how I do it. You can judge if it's clean or not.
1) Set up a new account (mine is named the same as my PC's name) and
make its "Network Transport" be "Local".
2) Define an application for mwm where the command line is in your
case something like: c:\xcursion\xapps\x86\mwm.exe. Point it to the
account definition created above. Select "Run at Server Startup", if
you plan to run it all the time. (I don't.)
The only down-side of this is that mwm.exe is a console application and
so when it runs it puts a console icon on the task bar.
Regarding the white arrow cursor, I'm not sure what to suggest at the
moment other than to have you look in the eXcursion release notes and
search for "ZDebugKeys" and "nocursor" and implement that workaround.

| Thanks,
I setup an application to be mwm ,however I pointed it to
d:\xcursion/xapps/x86/mwm.exe. I installed the tool on my D drive.
The installation put its pointers onto my C drive under win32app.
It created win23app/Xcursion/x86. xapps did not transfer across
or get pointed to as far as I can tell.
I tried to setup the reigistry to add the ZDebugKeys=noCursor
under the path you suggested. It not work. What I see in the registry
entry is something of this form:
<NoName>:REG_SZ:ZDebugKeys=noCursor
Was there a label I was supposed to put in place of the <NoName> tag?

| 2.1 ignores the nocursor switch on NT and Win3.1. 3.0, last time I
checked, honored it under NT. Which are you running?

| If you use eXcursion 2.1 under Windows NT 4, ZDebugKeys=nocursor will
not work. Reportedly 3.0 under NT 4 does.

| Window NT 4.0 with excursion 3.0.
I put ZDebugKeys as "key" and "noCursor" as string value into the registry
file
This brings changes the to a negative image from what is currently displayed.
That is current cursor looks like a white square block with "clear" arrow
pointing
towards upper left corner. The negative image simply looks like an upper
pointing
white arrow on a clear background.
The problem I have at this point is that some of the internal cursor commands
within the wave form viewing window do not function, so I'll pass this back to
Synopsys.
Thanks for the assistance with respect to the cursor and mwm.exe file. It
works
fine when I set it run at server startup. I don't know if any other programs
require this though.

Keep in mind that the "nocursor" option tells the X server not to let
X do *anything* with the pointer image. So if you're expecting the
arrow to change to a crosshair, when you move into a drawing area, it
won't happen, as long as nocursor is set.

Well...Oracle's programs are notorious for running better when mwm is
present. I'm sure I've run across a few from other vendors as well.
