Second go at a summary to include useful input received
after the first summary.

Jon Valdes (valdes@geosun.uchicago.edu) pointed out that
the SGI X Server doesn't have the Palatino fonts
required for answerbook to display correctly. He suggested
a few ways of getting type1 fonts from PC's or MACS.

This prompted me to scan the SGI literature.
I found a utility called:

     convertmacfont

on the SGI. I used this to convert fonts from the MAC to the SGI. I put
these in the directory:

     /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base

and low and behold - answerbook in all it's glory !

Thanks to all that responded.
