	Does anyone have a collection of useful Idraw images?  By useful,
	I mean that someone else might want to use the image.

	If people have useful images, I'd like to form an Idraw clip art
	collection.  Any interest in contributing?  If so, send me a shar
	file of a directory containing your images and a file called INDEX
	that describes the images.

Our server uses its own "intelligent" version of malloc, and it works
quite well.  Of course, there are still dozens of memory leaks in the
server that need to be fixed, also.

Now, if we just had an OS that provided support for sparse memory spaces, ...

Does anyone have any experience with the XRemote software
distributed by UniPress Software. Such as, is it usable for
textediting, schematic editing, waveform editing applications?
(It's supposed to allow X windows over serial lines).

Does it do some sort of compression/optimization to get around
the slow transfer speeds?

Is a 9600V32 modem required BEFORE it gets usable?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Many thanks in advance.

   Hi!

     I am a student at Calif. State Univ. Chico studying computer engineering.
  I am currently looking forward to a career in the field of technical
  writing and documentation. Because of this, I have decided to start 
  a journal for the most frequently asked questions about computers. I
  intend for it to be a bi-monthly publication with the purpose of answering
  all the most often asked questions new and semi-experienced computer
  users have. It will not be for those of you with off the wall, obscure
  questions, because I will not be able to answer many of those.        

    For me to get started, please send me any question that a new user is
  likely to ask; i.e. What is the speed of my computer? 386 or 33mhz?
  I know that seems simple, but you would be surprised to hear what
  new computer people will ask. 
  
    Below is a subscription form and question
  sheet.  All I ask is that you send me a question, and your name will go
  into the mailing list. However, as I am a student, I have limited funds.
  
  If this is not in the scope of        
  NetNews, then, forgive me and just send a question. I will print as many
  as I can afford and send them out.

    Thanks for your participation, and I look forward to hearing from you.

    Todd Lawson.

I have written an application using X Windows and Motif for HP Apollo

to equipment to project these displays so I was hoping to get the output
from the application to display on 2 terminals simultaneously.  I would
sit at one terminal running the application while the other terminal
would face the audience and mimic my display in a slave-like fashion.

Does anyone know how I could accomplish this?

Agreed.  I haven't had to do any ports yet (the project has gone to the
wayside), but I really like XVT.  Especially over the straight X or Motif
programming.

That's what the "eXtensible" in XVT is for.  You are NOT limitted to the
API.  In fact, the API provides a nice set of conditionals upon which you
build your native code.

I don't really agree with this, although I see where you are coming from.
Question:  are you using release 2, or release 3?  If you haven't looked at
release 3 yet, it is a major improvement over the release 2 API and
provides new types of controls (whose popularity came about with the advent
of Windows 3.1).

As with most things that work from root but not as mortals, it's
probably a permissions problem.  In this case, most likely the
permissions on the pty devices in /dev are set wrong.

This is dangerous since win might be obscured, in which case, unless it has
backing store, *nothing* will be copied into the pixmap.  XPutImage into
pixmap first, then XCopyArea it into win.

I use the following:

XTerm*vt100.translations:       #override\n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> F23:     set-scrollbar(toggle) \n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> F27:     scroll-back(100,page) \n\
  ~Shift        <KeyPress> R13:     scroll-forw(100,page) \n\
  ~Shift ~Meta  <KeyPress> F29:     scroll-back(1,page) \n\
  ~Shift ~Meta  <KeyPress> F35:     scroll-forw(1,page) \n\
  ~Shift  Meta  <KeyPress> F29:     scroll-back(1,line) \n\
  ~Shift  Meta  <KeyPress> F35:     scroll-forw(1,line) \n\
        <Key>L6:  start-extend() select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0)\n\
        <Key>L8:  insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
        <Key>L10: start-extend() select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0)\n

Cut-Paste works nicely. You only must not move the pointer before hitting 
L6 key.

List each book, by each author, from whatever publisher, SEPARATELY.

Unfortunately the server does not handle this.  In the general case,
a pixmap can be resized as follows:

(1) Download the pixmap to an XImage on the client side.
(2) Create an additional XImage for the resulting pixmap.
(3) Use your favorite algorithm to resize the pixmap.  A trivial algorithm
    involves using a reverse matrix transformation on each coordinate pair
    in the _resultant_ image (this avoids holes in the image; cf.
    comp.graphics FAQ #6).
(4) Upload the resultant XImage to a bitmap.
