It is not.  twm has no opportunity to find out when output to an xterm
occurs.  You'd have to make the patches to xterm, not twm.

And yes, if you're willing to hack on xterm, it's possible.

Howdy.  I'm sure that this has been hashed over a million times, but here
goes:

I'm going to be buying a 486DX33 or maybe 50.  I would like to be able to
have 3 partitions (386BSD, OS/2 and DOS/Windows) and be able to boot
off of any of the OSes.

Questions:

-What SVGA card should I get?  I'm leaning towards the Tseng ET4000 local
bus.
-Has anybody done 386BSD X11R5 patch level 13???  Will the Tseng ET4000 work?
-How stable is the latest 386BSD?
-GNU (C, emacs, Perl, bash, epoch, ...) available for 386 BSD???
-How is Linux?  PD?  Source available?  MIT (freely avail) X11R5pl13
available for it?

			Thanks, Ralph

It looks good.
1. I'd include a caveat about the process deadlocking if
   there are a lot of signals and the pipe fills up.  
2. Mention that you are using two file descriptors for the pipe.
3. Pass in the application context to x_signal() so you don't need a
   global TopLevel.
4. Consider making it more Xt'ish and allowing some private data to be
   associated with each signal handler.
5. Consider making it very Xt'ish and allow each signal to have a
   callback list associated with it so multiple functions can be
   called per signal.

The program works very well but sometimes the graphic was uncorrectly 
printed. I dont know on which part of the program this could be.
The only possible mistake, i think, could be in the Xlib routine XGetImage
or the X11 Server. I use the Interactive X11 R4.

Hello all:

I was wondering if someone could help me with my install of
X on a Sun Sparc 2.

I got errors (many times) that state:

ld: ../.././lib/Xt/libXt.so.4.10: rd_shsb: can't open shared library
../.././lib/Xt/libXt.so.4.10

and

ld: /usr/local/lib/libXt.so.4.10: rd_shsb: can't open shared library 
/usr/local/lib/libXt.so.4.10

Some things you might want to know about how I set up site.def and
sun.cf are:

I uncommented "Has Gcc"
I set ManSuffix to 1
I set InstallXdmConfig and InstallXinitConfig to YES
I set HasXdmAuth
I set InstallFSConfig
I set MotifBC
I also set OSTeenyVersion to 2 (by default, the SunPost411FCSLd
gets set to YES), so I didn't set it manually.

This is also my 2nd try, I also ran "make install" after the first
time, not knowing that things went wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

to write the original Motif prog.  That is, if I have a Motif
program that is 10,000 lines long and took 6 man months to
write, how long might I estimate it to take me to port it

Anything else about porting you'd like to share?

   I was talking to a cohort at work and we got to the subject of X and how
 many lines of code it takes to do things in X etc..

   I came up with "X is the perfect example of User simplicity is directly
 proportional to code complexity." Do you agree/disagree with this statement
 and why?

 To open up a window, create a button, attach a callback to that button
 when pushed, released and held, while tracking the mouse, takes up a alot
 of lines of code. (Granted that will take alot of lines in any GFX system
 but most likely more in X then any other)

   To know X and all the in/outs of it takes about 8 700 page manuals (O'Reilly
 & Associate) to learn. Is there ANYONE out there who knows EVERYTHING in
 these manuals? X is difficult to learn to program with, basically because
 you don't know where to start!! There are many calls that do basically the
 same thing (XAllocColor vs XAllocColorCells).

   How big is X going to get? When will it stop getting bigger? Who created
 this monster in the first place? Oh well.. back to those manuals..

World Wide Web is a initiative to create a world wide network of hypertext

sample of the browser for dumb terminals, telnet to "info.cern.ch"

Tk is an interpreted language used to create X applications.

TkWWW is a WWW broswer which uses Tk.  The combination is particularly
powerful because is allows users to include Tk "widgets" (buttons,
scrollbars, etc.) in hypertext nodes.  It is now in very early alpha

tkWWW can be ftp'ed from export.lcs.mit.edu, barkley.berkeley.edu, and
info.cern.ch.  To compile it, you will also need the WWW line mode

Hi.

  Does anybody out there knows when do NCD plan to ship X11R5? We are using
a LOT on NCD terminal in our CS department, and would like very much to upgrade
them to R5 (we'd like to run PEX and the font server particularly...)
 

  The second question is: Is there any way to start the NCD lock utility from
a client? We would like to have a program similiar in "xlock", that on the one
hand, would lock the terminal such that only the super-user of the machine on
which "xlock" was run, or the activator of the "xlock" process would be able
to unlock it, and on the other hand, would take advantage of NCD's lock feature,
which is clearly the RIGHT THING, since it does not take up the client's host
CPU time. 

Thanks a lot,
Misha.

Have I missed something in the release notes, or is there something

I am developing an application in xview which has a control
panel with a look-and-feel very much like the "Binder" supplied 
with Sun's Desktools. [Binder has a scrolling list of applications with 
the application's file manager icon to the left of the  text portion of
the list entry. The displayed icon is fully RGB-coloured and so
is obviously more than 1-bit deep.]

This prompts the following query: does anyone know how they did it?
In all the example code I've seen, and in Heller's Xview text, 
server images used for glyphs seem to be limited to single-bit depth.

As an aside, the Heller Xview manual does talk about full colour in
the section on server images, but not very completely.

A friend suggested that perhaps Sun used the Olit toolkit, which *does*
support this construct, but I find it hard to believe that Sun would 
develop their own tools in something other than Xview.

Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom.

Heavens.  Just XCreateFontCursor once, then XDefineCursor for each
window.  No need to create a new cursor for each window; you can use
the same cursor with all of 'em (I think - I'd have to check if you
have multiple distinct visuals in use).

Of course, you may actually want something else, like a general busy
cursor, in which case check out the FAQ.

 I have created a window using XCreateSimpleWindow.  I want
 this window to be in front of all the window at all times.
 I don't know the exact technical term used for such a thing.
 I dont't want other windows to overlap this window. How
 do I do this ? Please respond by email.

thanks

My son, aged 13, would like me to build more games for our small
network of Sun3/80 and Sun3/60 workstations, running Sunos 4.1.1 and
Open Windows 2.0.  He enjoys xtrek (he and his friends take over two
or three machines here to do cosmic battle), and he has praised a game
called `Civilization' which he plays on a friend's ms-dos machine.  We
also have acm which he finds a bit too tricky.

I'd very much appreciate suggestions of other good X-windows games
that he might enjoy, preferably source that is available on uunet, as
we do not have direct ftp access.  Please send replies by email; I
don't want to be the instigator of a my-game-is-better-than-yours
flamefest.  Thanks.
