1197.0. "Root.exe from non-system account ?" by ABLE::DICKENSON (Richard Dickenson ABO/A1..552-2572) Fri Jul 28 1989 12:59

    
    Does anyone know if ROOT.EXE can be run from a non-system account.
    
    When I try to run it from a user account I get a message:-
    
    $ mc root.exe
    Command ? {enter HELP for HELP}   help
    %PEB-I-LINKDATE, 25-MAY-1989 08:59
    Unable to open the default display

    		Thank you

	I think what Andy is trying to say in a brief and succinct fashion is that you should do a SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=nnnn before using root... (even tho you are only asking for help the program wants to make a connection to a decwinows client node) (If you get "no priv to access node" then use customise to change your security Ps I dont like all-in-1
