Status: RO While I'm trying to get this working, I found another problem. I can place boxes and ellipses, but I can't place connectors (in the Aux menu). If I select Connector, click in a box, and then try to drag the cursor (without releasing the mouse button), I get a line that goes a few centimeters horizontally and then stops. If I drag the mouse more, the line jitters like I'm pulling on it but it's stuck. Any suggestions? It's nice to be using Design CPN again, but it's tough to be this close and not be able to get it to work right. If I had to guess, I'm guessing it may be something with twm (I'm using the default Cygwin/XFree configuration) or its interaction with DesignCPN, but I'm not sure. If I can make this work, I think I'll be using it a moderate amount. Thanks for any help. While I have used it in the past (starting when I was still at HP), I haven't touched it in perhaps a year or two. Some things are working. I can open the ResourceAllocation example and do a basic interactive simulation, although I haven't explored too much there. At least that says I can connect to ML and the simulator.
