Reply-To: era@ncar.ucar.edu (Ed Arnold)

Yesterday, I posted an inquiry about why a script we have been using to
rasterize postscript, stopped working under OW3.0.

I received some useful info.  John.Benninghoff@Corp.Sun.COM replied that:

>The ability to rasterize PS files has been removed from xnews due to font 
>licensing issues.  NeWSPrint can rasterize PS files since it includes a
>license to print the included fonts.

I also received a reply from Larry Virden (lvirden@cas.org), who offered
a new version of his ps2bits script with the caveat that it won't work
with all fonts (I assume that means all fonts that were available in OW2.0).

Due to our need to perform these rasterizations frequently and as seamlessly
as possible, we will probably start doing most of them via Freedom of the
Press, a product which we have already purchased here for use on one machine.
So far, FOTP has proven to be a fairly stable/reliable product.

From what we figured out here, dbxtool is unbundled in OW3 and comes with Sun
Fortran or C compilers (in /usr/lang). The version in OW2 was supposed to be a
demo or so, and has thus disappeared.
Are unbundled and open systems synonyms ? English is difficult for foreign users !

void makerowvisible(list, row)
Xv_opaque   list;

    view_length = xv_get(sb,SCROLLBAR_VIEW_LENGTH);

    if(row < view_start || row >= (view_start + view_length)) {

    }
}

I have made a control area with a scrolling list on it Devguide 3.0. Now I want 
the scrolling list to automaticly resize itself every time somebodey resize the 
control area (better: resize the base window). 

I know a kind of solution, but that isn't what I want! I can make a menu with 
a prompt for the number of lines in the scrolling list. 

Can anybody give me some hints? Thanks in advance ...

Subject: Xview and process blocking?
Date: 20 Aug 92 22:16:51 GMT

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to block the parent process
while the child runs in an XView environment?

The parent process is an XView application which *must* wait until the
child process terminates (eg, a compile).  I need to have the same
behavior as system(); I need to fork()/exec() a shell that runs the
child and optionally waits/doesn't wait for the child to terminate (ie,
the appended '&').

All of my current attempts have either gotten a no-waiting version,
or the notifier goes into an infinite loop ignoring all SIGTERM signals.

I'm trying to be a good XView citizen and not use good 'ole system(),
which, btw, seems to work all the time...

Thanks,

Frank G.

Reply-To: dwood@hal.oc

Date: Wed, 19 Aug 1992 14:35:31 GMT

The subject says it all.  I can't believe all of the bugs that I find using
OW 3.0 File Manager.  My favorite is that draging a folder out of the FM window
onto the desk top ususally opens it in some random place on screen, sometimes
completely off screen where you can't even get to it with the mouse!  Another
gem is that sometimes the list of files in a directory is blank when you first
open it but if you resize the FM window slightly the list magically appears.
Finally, every once in a while FM simply vaporizes into thin air.

All of this is a little disconcerting in the OW application one uses to manipulate
one's files.  Can't SUN figure out how to open a window directly under the current
position of the mouse?  Can't SUN figure out how to manage window updating?
I think all of this points out the immaturity of the SUN OS or simply a lack 
of concern for software quality control.

Under Openwindows 3, on a Sparc 1+ (Sun OS 4.1.2), I have noticed
that the .openwin-menu file does not re-load after being modified,
as the olwm man page suggests.

So far, I have tried setting the AutoReReadMenuFile resource to True,
and re-loading xrdb to no avail. The only technique I have found that
works, is restarting olwm.

I checked the FAQ, and could find no references either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anybody tell me how to freeze the appearance of a an OLIT Control Area widget
while adding and/or removing children of it. I always have the annoying behavior 
that when I want to change a child of a Control Area by deleting it and inserting 
a new one, the Control Area immediately resizes itself on the deletion of the 
child, and resizes itself again while inserting the new child. It would be nice 
if one would be able to freeze the Control Area while making the changes. I tried 
by unmapping the Control Area, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Well, in OW 2 you can use 

    "Restart"                   RESTART

which effectively does the same thing. (That is, you can update
your menu to reflect changes in $HOME/openwin-menu.)

I agree with these assesments of FM and binder (I believe there are
patches available form Sun for some of the bugs). 

I must say, though, that not all the tools are this buggy. I use
Calendar Manager and the mailtool daily and have had no problems at
all with either of them, and in fact find them very useful and
productive.

I am having a problem with deleting items from a scrolling list in

demonstrates the problem.  Deleting items from the scrolling list
works fine except when I delete the last item in the scrolling list. When
I delete the last item in the scrolling list I get warnings:
OPEN LOOK Toolkit Warning in application "test1":
	Scrollbar - Bad sliderMin resource value, set to default
OPEN LOOK Toolkit Warning in application "test1":
	Scrollbar - Bad proportionLength resource value, set to default

Furthermore, if I the item I am deleting is currently selected I
will get a core dump when trying to select items from another
scrolling list.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'd like to change my icons too, to differentiate emacs from xterm ...
How does olwm know the icon to give to an application ? Can it be overridden ?
Was the answer already given and if so, could you post it ?

From the "EDIT" menu select "Properties" option, this will pop up a new window
where you can change the properties on MailTool. Select "Templates", give it a
name, I use Signature, and specify .sign or .signature file to be used.

Now when you are composing a message, from "Include" menu select the "template"
option and select a template you want. You can define different templates and 
include different one depending on where you are sending the mail.

Hope this helps :-)

The blank directory is ususally a symptom of the automounter, which
only mounts remote directories when it needs them.  It doesn't see
that FM is looking at the remote directory.  FM and the automounter
being both invented by Sun, they should _certainly_ work together better.
