Subject: Seeking Motif For Sun
Date: 1 Oct 92 23:12:33 GMT
Organization: Banzai Institute

We recently acquired a Sun workstation for our group. We have a package
we intend to run on it, said package squawks to us that it wants Motif 
to run under. Ok, so now we're looking for Motif for Sun. 

So: Is there an implementation of this for the Sun platform? Is it only 
available from OSF? If not is it available from somewhere else? Etc.
Any info on this would be greatly appreciated!

Replies by email please. And my apologies if this is an faq.

Thanks!

You can get SunTAR from sumex-aim.stanford.edu via anonymous ftp.  It allows
a Macintosh to read Unix (not just sun) tar format disks.

I guess if Nelson says he get's "a C program", he means sources.

A short comparison of 680x0 vs. SPARC:

Category	680x0		SPARC

Byte ordering	Big endian	Big endian
Adressing	byte aligned	size aligned
Efficient addr	word aligned	size aligned

The last two mean: a 680x0 (x >= 2) can fetch any
size from any address, albeit it's better to align
on words, or even longwords, depending on size.
A SPARC will trap if a word address is not on
a word boundary, and a longword address is not on
a longword boundary (I'm not sure about doubles).

This means structure sizes and structure field offsets
will change from Motorola to SPARC.

I think you are SOL.  There isn't any reason to develop tools for Sunview
when that method of display is being dropped by Sun.  With the latest releases
of SunOS from Sun, Sunview is no longer.  It is therefore a waste of time
to have tools like xv work under Sunview.  While there may be something out
there, your best bet is to move over to OpenWindows (I know easier said than

I've just installed it on our Suns here. It is too early to tell how
well it will work, but it appears that both the X and character
versions work.

I do have some qualms. I have yet to understand why it is necessary for
what is basically a text editor to have setuid root permissions:

 ---s--x--x  1 root     software   319488 Oct  1 10:43 ./shbin/wpexc51
 ---s--x--x  1 root     software   983040 Oct  1 10:43 ./shbin/wpp

I think the wpexc51 is their own 'print spooler'. This gets started when
Wordperfect is started and sticks around forever.

WordPerfect also assumes it can write anywhere it wants to. I had problems
running the license manager because the system running it didn't have
write permissions on the partition with the WordPerfect files (33+MB of them).
Fortunately, I was able to redirect the log outputs to a file in /var/adm
by editing their startup script.

At least I was able to get around their mucking with my printcap entries.
(The manuals helped here, but then so did some comments I recently read
on the net).

I can't get over the feeling that the WordPerfect people still think of
Unix boxes as PCs that they can completely take over.

Summary: Problems using XY charts in Wingz on a Sparc IPX
Keywords: Wingz,Sparc
Organization: National Radio Astronomy Observatory, Socorro NM
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 92 17:36:12 GMT

Do the following problems with XY Charts in Wingz sound familiar and
if so, what can I do to avoid them?

1 - I can only create a chart using adjacent columns. Selecting non
adjacent columns using the <ctrl> key works, but the chart tool only
recognizes the first column.

2 - When I select three adjacent columns, the bar plot looks OK, but
converting this to a XY plot only retains the first two columns. When
selecting many adjacent columns the XY plot correctly uses the first
column, but only shows portions of the even numbered columns.

3 - Add series works, but after selection of the two columns needed to
supply new data the series submenu is unavailable.

All three problems might well have a common cause. I'd be very
grateful for any help.

Has anybody sucessfully used the interrupt handling facility provided
in the AT&T C++ tasking library?    I'm using 2.0 version of cfront
on a SPARC.
 
I seem to be able to catch the interrupts, but if there is any other
tasks waiting on a delay() call, I get a run-time error.  According 
to the manual my run-chain is corrupted.
 
Below is a very simple program that gives me the problem.  It consists
of a single interrupt handler which will wait for a ^C.   The main
loop will just sit and spin, delaying for one simulation time unit
per iteration.  The interrupt handler will just print a brief message
whenever you press cntrl-c.  If I comment out the thistask->delay(1.0)
statement in the main routine, the program works fine.  Am I doing
something wrong? 
 
Any comments/corrections/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Another problem with "fmt" is that it will only process a certain number of
characters and then truncate the rest of your mail message.  I think the
size is 1024, but it's been awhile.  This was a known bug for SunOS 4.1.1,

I haven't used it because I personally like tvtwm better than the Open-Look

not, then I'm sure archie can find it.  I haven't used it and I think there

I do that sometimes.  Two things are needed.  To get the From: field
into the header, you need to go to the Compose Window Properties and
add a custom header called From.  This just adds a line "set
additionalfields='From'" to your .mailrc; you can do it manually too.
Mailtool still will not add it automatically but at least you can call
it up from the Headers menu and fill it yourself.

The second thing--and I'm not a sendmail guru so please correct me if
I'm wrong--is that sendmail may need to be told that certain users are
"trusted" and should be allowed to "change" their names in this way
rather than letting sendmail fill it in.  To do this you need to find
the line beginning with "T root daemon uucp" in /etc/sendmail.cf and
add users to it.  This gets impractical if there are a lot of users so
maybe there's a better way....

.pag files tend to have lots of zero blocks, and they're constructed in a
way that doesn't allocate disk blocks for them.  Try "ls -s" to see the
actual number of disk blocks being used.

I think xv is the best of these.  It handles GIF and JPEG as well as many
other formats and has a very nice interface under OpenLook.  It is available
from MIT (export.lcs.mit.edu) in /contrib.

Well, he could use those programs if they worked! There are problems with
both SCOPE and FUNCTION (i.e. they don't do enough and what they do try
to do they mess up on).

Wait and see... Good things are coming...
