Hi John,

If you don't want any SPM graphics, you have to remove all graphic
output code from the SPM source.
Fortunately, there is an elegant solution if you use linux, called Xvfb
(X Windows virtual frame buffer) which performs al graphical operations
in memory.
Search in the SPM mailing list for Xvfb and you will find some more
information on that.
Regards

Pieter
