If you use the "Done" or "acknowledge" buttons, Xgopher should
just pop down that panel.  Using the window manager's "Close"
function will kill Xgopher in version 1.2 and earlier.  Xgopher
was not adhering to the ICCCM.

I have fixed this problem in Xgopher 1.3 which will be released later this
month.

Being quite dissatisfied with the Type1 renderer in X11R5 (it dumps core
on most Type1 fonts I could find, either PD or commercial), I am have
become interested in the Speedo renderer, which looks nice.

Does anybody know of cheapo sources (free or commercial, preferably mail
order, UK or USA) for Speedo format fonts? Any utilities to convert
to/from Speedo format?

Plase mail, I shall summarize...

I'm generating my own mouse movement events with XSendEvent, and
sending them to myself.  I'd really like the X server to timestamp them,
but instead, it just passes along whatever time value I've set
in the synthetic event.  But I don't know what time it'll be when
the X server gets the event.

Any easy way to do this?

I guess I should just be using select() and doing the
timeout that way.  Ugh.

There's a gotcha waiting to getcha here.  Don't forget that
X is asynchronous, so the error will not be reported until
the next time Xlib sends its queue of requests over to the server,
and the server crunches through them to the one containing
the huge pixmap.  In other words, it may be awhile before you
get this error.  If you're not careful, the error handler may
be removed before the error happens.
So you cannot remove the error handler until
you are sure the server has already passed the big pixmap.
Probably the easiest thing to do is not to remove the error handler.

Subject: Generic Tetris V2.0.0
Date: 11 Jan 93 22:25:53 GMT

Organization: Workstation Div., Supermicro Systems Group, Sony Corporation

Date: Mon, 11 Jan 93 13:50:16 -0500
Message-Id: <9301111850.AA13571@expo.lcs.mit.edu>

A new release of my "Generic Tetris" is out. This V2.0.0 is a complete
re-write based on V1.8.1. The layout has changed and people can now play
with "show next" mode and other preferences.

I've submitted the source to "comp.sources.games", and you can find it on:

    HOST: export.lcs.mit.edu
    FILE: /contrib/tetris.2.0.0.tar.Z

The following is some info in case you are not familiar with this program...


	GENERIC TETRIS
	==============	Yet Another Tetris Game on X, V2.0.0


WHY ANOTHER?

    Because this one is simple, easy to build, and portable -- actually
    the blocks are bigger, more comfortable for your eyes. It only uses
    Xlib -- no "toolkit" kind of thing. People have tested it on the
    following platforms:

	DEC 5000		Ultrix 4.2A	X11R4
	Iris 4D			IRIX 4.0.1	Motif
	Sun4, SPARCstation	SunOS 4.1.1	X11R4, X11R5
	Sequent S81		DYNIX 3.2.0	X11R5

...

ANYTHING SPECIAL IN PLAYING?

    Use 'j' to move left; 'l' to move right; 'k' to rotate. Left-handed
    people may want to use 's', 'd', 'f' respectively. Use the space
    bar to drop a block quickly.

    Use CTRL-L key combination to redraw -- in case the program messes
    somthing up.

    As usual, '+' and '-' will speed up or lower down the speed. Note
    that you don't need to press the SHIFT key -- '=' and '_' also
    work. The 'b' key can be used to toggle "beep" and 'n' toggles
    "show next".

    If you press 'p', the game will be paused, and the window will be
    iconified -- just in case your boss suddenly appears at your door.
    ;o) When the tetris window loses its focus, it also goes to
    "paused" mode except it doesn't iconify itself.

    Refer to the man page for detailed command line options.

Gary,
  You are correct about the Xt timers not being extremely accurate.  I believe
the correct questions are:
1)How can you get accurate timers in a non realtime environment(I assume you arerunning in a unix environment)?  You can't.
2)Assuming you could find a solution to 1, how can you get this to work in the
Xt environment?

We're attempting to set up a simple X-station using Xsun and xdm -- is
there any good source of information that gives step-by-step and/or
troubleshooting guides? We can't seem to get the chooser working on
the X terminal.. Everything comes up grand when we select a direct
query (xsun -query ...), but as an indirect server, it doesn't connect
(xdm says it's not authorized to talk to host).

Anyway. Any pointers to a source of information would be appreciated.
Thanks.

We have a RS/6000 Runnung AIX 2.3. The fonts under /usr/lib/X11/fonts which 
has IBM specific fonts have incorrect specifications. 

sample of fonts.dir file:

Bld17.snf.Z               -ibm--bold-r-block--23-16-100-100-c-110-ibm-850

				  pixels-------+  +-------- Points

The points field does not really match the fonts in associated snf file.
Usually this field is in the order x10. The font properties are not correctly 
set. 

Either the utility which generated the SNF OR these fonts were not originally 
BDF.

This really screws up bitmap font scalars (X11R5)  which looks at points field 
to scale up/down. 

Question:  Is this fixed in their latest release ? Could someone verify this 
	   on their systems ... please. 

------------ aixterm use of fonts---------------------------------------

aixterm does a xlistfonts() using the following pattern:

 "-*-*-medium-r-*-*-20-*-*-*-c-*-IBM-850"


 This is not a good practice since one should match by point not by pixel!

 See  O'Reilly's Xlib programming Manual Vol 1 3rd Edition 
	Section A.1.2 pages 558-559 


Symptom: The bitmap Font scalar will create a huge font .

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopefully someone from AIX team can be informed about this.

Try adding the following to your Xdefaults

Then run

This reminds me of another way. Create a window with a size equal
to the size of the pixmap. Make the pixmap the background pixmap.
You can draw and erase as much as you like. Don't know what happens
if the images change rapidly though and you have to catch resize
events or disable them.

Okay, right first thing, do what you want with your resources, it'll make not

You need to add an XmNmodifyVerifyCallback to your text widget.

static XtCallbackProc callback_func(Widget                     w,
                                    XtPointer                  client_data,
                                    XmTextVerifyCallbackStruct str)
This callback
can then check the length of the existing text and incoming text and decide
wether it should break the incoming text up, or disallow the incoming text.
A delete is detected by looking for inserted text of length zero, the 
str->text->ptr and str->text->length fields of the callback structure will be
NULL and zero. You can in general ignore the str->text->format field.

For instance you can set the str->doit field to FALSE if the text is too long
(remember that deleting from one line across a \n may cause a line to be too
long). If you set the XmNverifyBell resource to TRUE, the bell will
automatically sound if the user tries to do something which results in you
setting str->doit to false.

See the XmText man page.

This works, I've done similar stuff this way. You could also implement enough
stuff to remember how to do an undo/redo function, although I haven't had the
need to do this yet.

You can also use XmNvalueChangedCallback, except this gets called after the
event. I wouldn't recommend this.

I've an Orchid Prodesigner IIHCs SVGA video card and am using Xmach.
The pen-ultimate clock speed on the card of 65MHz gives a good but
not optimal refresh rate. However, the top speed of 80MHz causes
picture break-up (picture is viewable, but vertical lines are jagged.)
This does not happen under DOS. I've seen mention of others with 
high clock speed cards having the same problem and having to resort to 
running some DOS utility under merge to adjust something in the card
which causes in to stop. Although my monitor only has a bandwidth of
80MHz, that's not the problem as I've been reliably informed by someone
with a 120MHz bandwidth monitor that they get the same effect using the
80MHz clock onboard the card. It would seem to be something to do
with VRAM accesses. Anyone any ideas how this can be fixed? Will
XFree fix it?
Thanks in advance.
