Hi

Luca is right, but if you don't want to download the whole thing, try
this; if you are building Mosflm from the ccp4 distribution, there is a
shell script in the top-level $CCP4/x-windows/Mosflm directory called
"to_small.csh" which makes the necessary changes in the source code to
give you a display that fits a 1024x768 screen. "source" the file, then
rebuild Mosflm, and you should ahve a small display version. There's also
a "to_big.csh" script which reverses the changes so you can have a large
screen version too. 

The same shell script exists in my "build-it-yourself" version.
