I don't have the disk space to compile X11R4, and I don't think X11R5 will
compile under SunOS v3.5 (havn't tried) so I was wondering if there is any
alternatives to SunView...perhaps something more like Apples' "Finder".

Thanks,

Mike

It might be neat, but it'd have no effect on SunView or on Open Windows
(Open Windows calls the appropriate SunView function to ring the bell
when it gets the XBell request).

If you have MIT X11 source, I think there exist patches to have it play
a sound file rather than send the "bell on" and "bell off" commands to
the keyboard.

If you have SunView source, you could hack the "-lsunwindow" shared
library so that the "win_bell()" function uses the audio hardware; the
X11/NeWS server is dynamically linked with that library, as are many
SunView applications, so that'd do the trick.  Of course, most people
don't have SunView source....

having hosed my system once by careless instalation of a libc, I now

now all dynamically linked executables will find the new lib first, if it is

setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /users/X11R5/lib:/usr/lib

(back to normal)

when things are right

2) copy the new shared library to a higher revision number, i.e.

old libc: /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6

cp ~ajn/newlibdirlibc.so /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6.1

(now make sure the permissions are the same between libc.so.1.6 and libc.so.1.6.1)

cp ~ajn/newlibdir/libc.sa /usr/lib/libc.sa.1.6.1 
(or link old .sa lib to new revision number)

cd /usr/lib

Organization: DSO, Stanford University

I get a lot of catalogs of computer equipment.  One of hallmarks of
such catalogs is that it's virtually impossible to figure out what a
product does from the catalog description.  You can tell that someone
who has no concept of what a user of the product might want to know
wrote the product description.

Not so for the SunExpress catalog.  Well, at least some of the info is
useful.  For example, the memory section tells you exactly what kind
and how many SIMM slots each machine has.  The SBus ethernet
controller tells you *why* the card won't work on a 600MP.  I really
hate marketing blurbs like, "the foobar supports up to 64MB of memory,
and comes with 16MB installed."  That tells me next to nothing.

So if anyone out there gives feedback to the SunExpress people, tell
them good job on the details in the memory section, and lets see more
hard details for other products.

Based on that, do you think Open Windows will run on his machine?  Hint:

	1) "/usr/openwin/bin/xnews" is the X11/NeWS server - it's the
	   only X11 server in Open Windows;

	2) those lines indicate that it's dynamically-linked, and
	   enumerates the shared libraries it requires;

	3) SunOS 3.5 doesn't have shared libraries.

Now, if he could get a binary distribution of X11 for his Sun-2, he
might be in luck (he'd have to get the whole thing; the Open Windows
clients won't work on his box, either, as they're also
dynamically-linked - *and* were probably compiled for 68020's, to boot).
Dunno if any such exist (Sun-3 binaries won't help).

Wrong.

It's more like a Sun workstation that happens to come with a 386 and
(optional?) 387 as its processor, and that happens to have an AT bus as
its expansion bus.

It has Sun-style frame buffers, and Sun-style serial port chips, and a
Sun-style network interface; I think other peripherals are also
Sun-style peripherals.

It was also pretty much of a flop.  Like I told one person:
"imagine IBM deciding to build a PC based on the 68030  and make it
compatible with MS-DOS."

Ok, for the (n + 1)th time, could someone please explain yet again how to
break a shareable library into .so and .sa parts? I know the standard
explanation, "Put initialized data in the .so part and the .sa part." But
what I see of the MIT X11R5 source code doesn't jibe with this.

For example, in mit/lib/Xt, there are dozens of initialized structures and
arrays (the class structures and the resource arrays). But if I understand
the Imakefile right, these all go in only the .sa part. Why? Isn't this in
conflict with the commonly stated rule above?

What about C++? The virtual function tables for a class are initialized
data, right? What do I do with them? What about static objects which have
constructors? I'm trying to make shareable libraries out of some of our
C++ class libraries and not having much luck --- I keep getting unresolved
externals. Some of these go away when I (pretty much at random) stick
different things in the .so and .sa files, but it's hopeless because I'm
flying blind here. I know it's possible because the C++ runtime library is
shareable --- I just don't know what to do.

All this has me writhing in pain, so any tips would be greatly welcome.
Also appreciated would be the names of books/papers that discuss this (all
I have is the Sun Programmers Overview and the paper on shareable
libraries on the Sun demo CDROM).

I'd prefer answers by email and I'll post a summary if there's interest.
Thank you.
