That actually wasn't an issue at all. It took a few hacks on the 
linking line, but register compiled and ran just fine without X11. It 
was only happy with certain MINC files, however; I havn't the foggiest 
idea why, and since that experiment happened a few days before the 
workshop I gave up and just compiled against X11. I'll try to get back 
to getting a quartz version of Display and Register soon, however 
(unless someone beats me to it - I would not complain).
