Problems with DEC-GKS and DEC-WINDOWS workstation


I am writing a program using the DEC-GKS library.
I use the following software versions:

FORTRAN binding: creation date 7-OCT-1991
DEC-GKS: version 4.2-4, creation date 7-OCT-1991.

I want to use the DECWindows workstation (type 211) for output.


On DECstations with the DEC window manager everything works fine.

When I activate the output workstation with GACWK, a window
opens automatically and my picture appears.

But with other window managers (eg. twm or the NCD window manager)
only a icon appears, and I have to open the window manually with the
mouse.

I tried to use the Escape function POP WINDOW, but it only worked
with the original DEC window manager.


What's the matter with the DECWindows workstation? Is there a bug in
DEG-GKS? Or should I use Xlib functions to open the graphics window?


I would like to use GKS, because my programm should work with many
output devices, eg. TEK4014.
We have several X-Window terminals, so the program should work with
other terminals than DECstatations as well.


Thanks in advance

If you're like me, you get a large amount of junk mail.  A lot of it on
a given day might come from DECUS..  I often get 3-4 pieces of decus
mail at a time, and I've learned to pretty much throw most of it out
unread because it's of absolutely no use.. (I can just hear the budget
people back in the office cringe now.)

DON'T DO THIS if you intend to go to the symposium.. The new
"streamlined" registration package arrives in a small white 4x11
envelope, and contains a color brochure with real small type.  As part
of the new DECUS this brochure contains about, well, absolutely no
information content.. At least, nothing beyond a lot of really obnoxious
marketing hype, the price list, and the hotel list.  No list of
sessions, no sag, nada.

Gee, maybe if they're not going to be producing any of this info
anymore, they can move some of the deadlines down, so that speakers for
next may won't have to commit to giving a session before they leave Las
Vegas in december.

Registration fees are up to a ludicrous $550.00...

The Digital Equipment Computer Users' Society and Washington University
in Saint Louis are proud to announce the availability of the recently
released Spring 1992 DECUS VAX SIG and Languages and Tools SIG tapes
for access over the Internet.  A great deal of work has been put into
making this collection, and both DECUS and Washington University would
like to thank the many people who spent the thousands of hours
necessary to make it possible.

The VAX and L&T SIG tapes are available for anonymous FTP from
wuarchive.wustl.edu [128.252.135.4].  All of the various parts of this
tape are stored in the directory "/decus/vax92a" and "/decus/lt92a".
Please retrieve the file "COPYING" first since it contains important
information you will need to copy the BACKUP savesets.  Please note
that wuarchive.wustl.edu is a dedicated archive system and may be used
without restriction 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Washington University regrets that under no circumstances can it
provide copies of the DECUS Symposia on any form of media, nor can it
honor requests for individual files from the Symposia tapes.

Questions about the Washington University archives (only) should be
e-mailed to archives@wugate.wustl.edu.

The approximate sizes of the SIG tapes are shown below, in kilobytes (1
kilobyte is 2 disk blocks):

Has anyone else received two copies of the reg packet?  I got one that had my
membership number at the top of the mailing label and a second one that just
had my name and title.  Was a mailing purchased and not merged with the DECUS
membership to eliminate duplicates?

DECUS is still producing this information and it _will_ continue to make this
information available... 

	Seminars Abstracts
	Sessions-at-a-glance (SAGs)
	Symposia Index
	Seminar/Symposium Program
	Registration materials
	Library and SIG tape information
	Spring 1993 CFP
	Membership application

It is all available by calling 1-800-358-2614

In addition you can access the Seminar and Symposia abstracts on DECUServe.  
TELNET DECUSERVE.DECUS.ORG or dial 508.842.0200 (DF196 modems).  Login under 
the account DECUSPROGRAM.  You can do keyword searches and build your own 
personal schedule.

The Symposia and Seminar indexes are up on the E_Store.

I have posted the Symposia and Seminar indexes on the net 
(comp.org.decus,comp.os.vms,comp.sys.dec).

In the future (spring 1993) stuff will be put up on DECUServe so that you can
obtain it via FTP or a mail request. 

There is a whole bunch of reasons why we changed our communication strategy.
They range from mail room problems, mailing to more folks, multiple mailings,
producing something you can show your boss, and maybe saving a few trees by
starting to make information available on a as needed basis and via electronic
methods.

Subject: Membership fee for DECUS?
Date: 21 Aug 92 19:06:10 GMT
Organization: Beckman Instruments

On a conference on DCS and DECUServe, a DECUS leader has begun a topic
discussing charging a fee for membership in DECUS.  It sounds like a proposal
is gelling to have two types of member, a "full" and an "associate", where the
"full" gets things like DECUScope, can vote, etc. and pays the membership fee,
while an "associate" only gets notification of symposium and other such revenue
generating DECUS products.  This appears to be a cost-cutting proposal (and
tree saving), as it seems to be expensive to mail EVERYTHING to all 50,000 US
members but only have a small percentage actually care.

Anyone care to comment on this?

This is a perfectly reasonable and completely naive request.  Every
year, at election time, candidates for IEEE office and Computer Society
positions especially make impressive pronouncements about "improving
member services" through the use of "state-of-the-art technology."
We're told that we are moving into the 

			*Information Age*

and how, under his/her leadership, the IEEE (or one of its societies)
will exploit Information Age advances to improve "member services."

However, this ignores the fact that IEEE makes significant revenues
selling Transactions packages to university and corporate libraries.
For example, the IEEE's "All-Society Periodicals" package (which, one
would guess, provides a subscription to every IEEE Transactions, the
magazines such as Computer, and, perhaps, the Proceedings) costs $7995,
a savings of $4069 off the "combined (separate?) subscription prices."
The quotes are from an ad on the back cover of the June, 1992, issue of
Proceedings.

As another example, an individual (nonmember) subscription to the IEEE
Transactions on Information Theory costs $215 annually for six issues.
Member dues, including subscription, are a small fraction of this.

In addition, libraries pay a great deal of money (by an individual's
standards) for subscriptions to "Electrical and Electronics Abstracts,"
the "INSPEC" publication that abstracts and cross-indexes every article
in every IEEE publication.  This, too, is an important source of income
for IEEE.

Without this income, IEEE and Society dues would be even higher than
they are.  Members cannot have it both ways.  If your company or
university library cannot afford the costs of subscribing to all the
IEEE publications, ask them, instead, to subscribe to the "Abstracts."
Then ask them to obtain reprints of articles in which you are
interested.

In these books they say that online versions of these indexes
are available by some database vendors or online research databases.

What I would like to know is:
 1)  How can I get access to any of these online versions ?
 2)  Is it possible to get these data in a computer-readable

     libraries is member of IEEE ?)

We are running an online literature information system at 
our faculty, and I would like to incorporate some of the
IEEE material into this system.

Pete,

I will have go searching, but I believe that Elizabeth Zwicky posted
some SAGE info on this newsgroup soon after her return from San
Antonio.  If not, then that was a mistake on the interim boards part,
and we will rectify it. In fact, perhaps it is time to repost some
of that info to coincide with the first SAGE newsletter offerings in this
months "login:".

At the conclusion of the meeting in San Antonio we set out to and did
a series of mailing lists to discuss various topics that SAGE would begin 
examining and/or addressing.  At this time there are 15 or so mailing lists
running from usenix.org.  I will repost that list of groups in a few minutes.

The mailing lists cover a range of topics from the Pubs group which I
run to groups on ethics, conferences, security and non-unix outreach.
Each is attempting to formulate some plans or strategies for SAGE to pursue
(or determine that the topic is not worth pursuing at this time).

The interim board, many of whom you met in San Antonio, will be
superseded in January by an elected board, chosen from candidates
that volunteer by the 22nd of October (yes, that is the Thursday
of LISA) and voted upon in December.  The interim board is in place
simply to get the process rolling, set up the initial election 
procedures, and carry the torch through the first election.  Many of
us will not be running for board positions this fall.

What can you do?  Join the mailing lists for the working groups
and help shape the direction of the organization.

What do you get?  Well, you get newsletter info. You get the results
of the working groups (job descriptions, site policies, software collection,
etc.), contacts with other system administrators, and others.  Much of this
is up to you and the rest who are the first to join and participate.

(And you get on the SAGE mailing list.  I just checked it and did
not find your name.  I will submit it for addition myself in
just a few minutes.  You can contact me directly if you like and
we can verify that USENIX does indeed have you on their rosters.)

I hope this has answered some of your questions.  Please feel
free to drop me a note, or post one here, if I missed anything.

	I've been thinking that one thing which would be really nice for
USENIX conferences is to encourage a few locals to post where to get decent
food in their town, before the conference. Therefore, at the risk of being
flamed to death, I'd like to mention a few places in Baltimore where good
eats can be had. This is inherently biased, of course. :) I get no kick
backs from any of these, I'm just a fat dumb and happy customer.

	Tony Cheng's - (Szechuan) Moderately pricy but pretty darn good.
		Go north up Charles st to a block past the washington
		monument, and it's on the right. Crispy beef is good.
	Thai Landing - (Thai) Terrific and cheap homestyle thai. Also
		on Charles st, in a little building on the right with an
		awning, about 6 blocks north of the monument. Crowds up
		fast, worth the wait.
	Akbar - (Indian) Small and cozy, pretty good, 1/2 block north of
		Tony Cheng's.
	The Prime Rib - (beef) Expensive. Delicious. Jacket/tie req.
		North up Calvert, it's down a side street to the right,
		on Chase st.
	Nichi Bei Kai - (sushi) Used to be heaven on earth but now
		merely pretty good. North on Charles about 5 blocks
		from the monument, in the basement of the Belvedere
		hotel.

	Actually, that whole area 1-2 blocks north of the monument on
Charles st is a good place to look for food.

	Sisson's - (brewpub and seafood) South on St. Paul (within a
		decent walk 's distance fo the hotel) on Cross st.

	The Cross st area south of the hotel is another good "looking
for food" kind of place.

	Obrycki's - (maryland seafood and crabs) Go east on Pratt
		for a ways, through some pretty grungy neighborhoods.
		Do not walk. about 2 miles from the hotel, or so.
		Cross-street Broadway.

	Obrycki's is in Fells Point, another good "looking for food
and beer" kind of place, with yuppy nightclubs (formerly biker bars
but now upscaled) to the south, down Broadway.

	Sabatino's - (italian) moderately expensive.

	"Little Italy" is graced with several solid italian restaurants,
and is located east along Pratt st, about a mile or so from the hotel.

	I wish everyone an enjoyable stay in Baltimore. I'd join you
guys for dinner at any one of these places except that I'll be stuck
on the other coast that week. :(
