DECWINDOWS on VAX/VMS 5.4 and upwards is X11R4 compliant

VMS DECWindows is not a full X11 distribution. i.e. you can't build your own
servers, etc. There's no Athena widget set. But we do have the complete Xlib
and Xtoolkit. DECWindows is now based on OSF/MOTIF altough the old DEC XUI 
widgetset is stil included.

DECWindows supports 3 types of transport: TCP/IP, DECnet, LAT There's no 
problem using other OS's X-servers as long as they speak your language, that 
means X and one of the transports above.

Not that I now of except for the usual things of porting normal "C" programs to 
the VMS platform (file system stuf etc.) X-wise there's no difference. There 
are people who ported the Athena widget set to VAX/VMS. I ported many programs 
published in comp.sources.x to VAX/VMS. (example: XV)

Hello X gurus,

I need information about the changes to the X11 server interface in Interactive
UNIX from Version 2.2 to Version 3.0. I'm in charge of an X11 server which is 
build in accordance to "The 386/ix X11 Smart Board Interface Specification 
Version 1.2" dated January 1989 and have to port this server to Interactive 
UNIX 3.0 but SunSoft Germany isn't able to give me any information about the 
changes or new versions of the Interface Specification manual.

This is very urgent please !!!
Thanks a lot.

I have thse same problem as well. My tvtwm is running on a Solbourne

When I pull down a menu and after executing something from the menu, the
'ghost' menu appears. I am too on PatchLevel 6. Any help will be
appreciated.

I have written three small Athena Widget applications based on programs
described in "The Unix Programming Environment" by Kernighan and Pike,
and called them xp,xpick and xzap.

They are available for anonymous ftp on export.lcs.mit.edu
in contrib as xp-1.1.tar.Z, xpick-1.0.tar.Z and  xzap-1.0.tar.Z.


XP
xp uses a readonly Text widget to display its standard input, or files
given as arguments, in a single top level window.

Some of its features are:

geometry in lines and columns,
egrep-style regular expression searches (via Henry Spencer's regexp package),
optional case insensitive and multi-file searching,
optional line wrapping and horizontal scroll bar,
split window facility providing 2 views of the same or different files,
shell command escapes, optionally passing on the current file as stdin.


XPICK
xpick displays its arguments (or standard input) in a MultiList widget
(from the Free Widget Foundation widget set), lets you select any of
them with the mouse, then outputs the chosen ones on standard output
when a command button is hit.

an example use is:

rm `xpick *`

or

rm `ls -ld *  | xpick -1 - | awk '{print $8}'`


XZAP
xzap runs "ps" and displays its output in a MultiList widget.  You can
then select  one or more processes  before sending them a KILL signal
by hitting a command button.  xzap makes no assumptions about ps other
than  that it displays process ids in a column headed PID.


Developed on a Sun-4, SunOS 4.1.1 X11R4 & X11R5
these programs have successfully been built & run on

  Sun-3 SunOS 4.1.1  X11R4

I've compiled X11R5 on a hp9000s320 running hpux 8.0. Building and installing
appeared to be OK, but when starting some of the clients I get the message
"Floating exception - core dumped" and that's that. This happens with for
instance "xedit" and "puzzle", while "maze" is OK.

I used the hpux cc.

Anyone seen this before? Any ideas what to do?

I want to be able to change the name of my window and the associated icon.  I
have tried the key sequences in  the FAQ #30 (these are the same as those
suggested in the Xterm Control Sequences document on our system).  It did not
work for me.  I also tried the xtitle script submitted on the net, no go.

As a non-unix person in a unix world I have a lot to learn BUT when I hit a key
labelled ESC (F11) on my keyboard and I don't get the results I expect, well...

Anyhow I am working on an NCD Xterminal, running off an IBM R-6000 system, an
out of the box Xterm (I think), and the window manager is Motif.

I tried to figure out the key cap entries by running xmodmap and  
	keycode 10 = Escape
is the definition I found.

I tried other xterm control sequences that are listed in the Xterm Control
Sequences document and they don't work either,  is there a method of finding
out which key is actually ESC ? or are these escape sequences to the X server
disabled?

Does this make sense to anyone??

I would *really* like to be able to label my windows and icons on the fly.  I
can plunk in a parameter to xterm but I am often on the same machine or
username many times and I would like each one to be identifiable especially
when iconified.

BTW: THANK YOU TO ALL THOSE WHO RESPONDED TO MY XSERVER QUESTION - IT HELPED!

I had just the same problems with my no-name HiColor 4032 card. I checked
the dot frequencies with the oscilloscope and noticed that all the clocks
were doubled! So the slowest clock I could use was 50 MHz and the fastest
130 MHz. When using these clocks I was able to calculate the correct sync
positions and resolutions (although they were quite bizarre 1024x600, ..,
1024x768 interlaced worked fine with 50MHz). I really don't know what is
the difference with ET4000 and ET400AX+HiColor cards. So try the clocks

	clocks	50 56 ... 130


Hope this helps.

Who can recommend X-based tools for project management? Features
needed are those found in MacProject: simple GUI, PERT charts, Gantt
charts, resource levelling, nested subprojects, good PostScript
output.

I'm especially interested in freeware or products that are affordable
for 1-2 seats. AutoPlan seems to fit the bill, except for its cost.
Nevertheless, if you can share your experiences with AutoPlan or
similar products, I'd like to hear them.

I want to do something which I know the protocol doesn't handle: set
the speed of the auto-repeat. This is for a game, to give you an idea
of its vast importance.

I figures I could do this by only looking at real presses and releases,
and then doing usleeps to get the repeating. I ended up disabling
autorepeat while I have keyboard focus. It's a bad hack, and some
window managers (albeit old ones) barf at this in different ways.

But if you still want to use UIL (I don not have anything against Wcl),
you need the OSF's original kit of 1.1.2 or later. It comes with the 
Widget Meta Language. Using this tool you can build your own UIL 
compiler supporting your own widget. Besides, you will have to write
your own analog of MrmInitialize. All that is not an easy procedure,
but we have done it once.

I'm responsible for product portability of an application which must
run on, among other systems, Unix, AIX, VAX/VMS, and MS-DOS.  Currently
the application has a low-tech character-based user interface (somewhat
like the pull-down menus associated with a lot of DOS applications).
We're starting the process of looking at adding on an enhanced GUI
for these systems (primarily Motif/X and MS-Windows).

The application/program interface offered by XVT Software (Boulder, CO)
is one possible route we may take.

If you have experience with XVT or any other platform-independent
approach to building GUI-based programs, I'm interested in getting
comments or recommendations.  Please post or email.  I will keep
emailed comments confidential.

    Once upon a time when I worked for Inmos we implemented the X protocol on
Transputer links.  This was done so that one Transputer could run the server and
another a client.  We ported two different X clients (ico and twm) and Xlib.  I did
most of the initial porting work but the twm port was done by Steve Shepherd (formerly
of Inmos but I can remember who he works for now).  It worked pretty well once the
deadlock situations where removed (I spent a lot of time getting rid of deadlock
conditions, Transputer links a synchronous but the X protocol isn't!).

I am looking for an X client application for general plotting and

that is available for DEC RISC-based CPUs (3100, 5000 series, etc.).

In the IEEE magazines that I receive, I see lots of ads for PC-based
programs, like Sigma Plot and Graftool, some running under Windows 3.0. 
Nice programs, wrong platform.

I also see lots of simulation and mathematics environments that include 
graphics capability as part of a larger package (Matlab, Mathematica,
Xmath, EEsof, Entropic, etc.).  Nice programs, but far more capability 
than I'm looking for and more than I'm willing to pay.

I just want to take data files produced by some other program,
written in some standard format, and plot curves, bar graphs,
and other displays of the data.  Some nice features would include

          -placement of labels, titles, etc. with mouse
          -ability to read a number of data file types
          -publication-quality output in a variety of formats 
           (esp. PostScript)
          -2D and "3D" capabilities
          -mixture of log and linear axis capabilities
      
I know about gnuplot, and that it can do some but not all of
the above.

Does anyone have any recommendations?  I'm pretty ignorant
of the X application world.

Thanks!
