A. MIMIC is a client/server application, i.e., it consists of two complementary sets of programs. The server program mimicd needs to run before the client programs mimicview and mimicsh can do their work. When you start mimicview, the GUI client, it starts the server program mimicd automatically, if it is not already running. If so, it also starts a logging window to dump the diagnostic output of the server program. If mimicd is already running, mimicview just attaches to it. This could be the case if you stopped mimicview before and closed the log window before, without terminating the server program with File->Terminate. You can look at the diagnostic output of the running mimicd by selecting File->View Log from mimicview.
