Thank You,
I could get busy cursor working :-))
but i don't have xmessage on my machine(Solaris 8.0),
i tried to get xmessage from sun.freeware.com, but
couldn't identify the format to extract binaries,
neither was able to compile source file(usually this
does not happen, when i try compiling other source
code).
will try more later,
thank you.
