About a month ago there was discussion on xwais on SGI's.  At the time I 
didn't pay attention, but subsequently I was asked to install it (So I'm
sorry if this is a repeat of recent requests).

In compiling xwaisq.c (with the cckr option on):

cc -g -prototypes -float  -I/usr/include -I/usr/people/joefw/wais/wais-8-b5.1/x
-I/usr/people/joefw/wais/wais-8-b5.1/ir -I/usr/people/joefw/wais/wais-8-b5.1/ui
-DSECURE_SERVER -DRELEVANCE_FEEDBACK -DUSG -DSYSV -DMALLOC_0_RETURNS_NULL -DFUNC
PROTO -DNARROWPROTO -c xwaisq.c

I get several errors including:

ccom: Warning: /usr/people/joefw/wais/wais-8-b5.1/ir/ustubs.h, line 47: Previous
 declaration had prototype, this declaration does not
      char *strstr  ();

ccom: Warning: xwaisq.c, line 191: Argument 2 Type Doesn't Match prototype descr
iption; prototype: pointer to function returning void is different from actual:
pointer to function returning unsigned char
        rescantimerid = XtAddTimeOut(rescanint, ScanDirs, (Opaque) ScanDirs);

along with similar errors.  I get the second error plus one about
"all qualifiers of actual args...and pointed to types must be compatible  when
I compilw without the cckr option.

Does someone have code for xwais that compiles
on an SGI, or have suggestions for clearing up these problems?

I tried to install FSP.2.6.3, but failed...

Has anybody a compiled version, or can send me the source and some advice for

Pretty dumb on my part, I ought to have looked at the Makefile more closely.
All that need to be done was comment out  TERMLIB = -ltermcap and
uncomment TERMLIB = -lcurses.

Unless major changes have been made to TeX since the last time I built
it, the X11 stuff should be required only for the previewer (either
xtex, texx, or xdvi).  Find the dependencies for the X11 files in the
Makefile and comment them out.  Everything else should build
correctly.  Note: I've built TeX3.14 on an SGI using the same source
tree that I used on some Suns, with minor changes.  I don't recall the
X previewers being part of the original tree, but instead were
external packages that I added later.

The name of a Type 1 font file must match the PostScript font name in the 
/FontName entry in the header of that file.  If that entry looks like:
 
     /FontName /Futura-CondExtraBoldObl def

the name of the file must be:

     Futura-CondExtraBoldObl

> How can I use these fonts
The IRIS Font Manager in IRIX 4.0.5 and higher uses Type 1 outline font files 
it finds in the directory /usr/lib/DPS/outline/base.  Link your program with:

     -lfm_s -lgl_s -lsun -lc_s [-lm] [-lmalloc]

    (square brackets indicate optional libraries)

and hack away.  You can use the Inventor toolkit to display 3D characters that
are made from the character outlines found in outline fonts.

Write a Display PostScript (DPS) program that uses additional fonts.  DPS has
been implemented as an extension of the X Window System.  You basically need
to write an X program that makes use of that extension. 

My demo program xdpsglx shows how to use DPS in a mixed-model program.  You
can get the source code for that program by anonymous ftp from sgi/src/dpsglx
on sgi.com. 

You can add outline (PostScript) fonts to FrameMaker.  See Appendix F in the
SGI FrameMaker Reference Manual (Doc. No. 007-1641-020).  You should also add
the corresponding bitmap fonts to FrameMaker. 

If you create a PostScript file that uses your additional fonts, you can use
xpsview to preview that file.  If you want to print that file, you should
check whether your new font is built into your PS printer.  If it is not,
you should download additional Type 1 font files to that printer.  I posted
an article about how to do that.

You can use additional font files with the SGI Impressario.  Impressario can 
use DPS to convert non-PostScript printers into PostScript printers. 

SGI has announced a version of the Adobe Illustrator for SGI machines.  It
uses Display PostScript.    

The X11R5 version of the X Window System can use Type 1 outline font files.

You cannot add fonts to the current version of Showcase.

Your cc1plus (when compiled using GCC 2.3.3) dumps core for every

workaround is to recompile cp-lex.c *without* the -O switch, and

Insight is a wonderful concept, that's the way documentation ought to
be presented. Who needs paper anyway...

The format of the SGML documents should be published and accessible
though, so that everyone can add books without having to use external
service bureaus. If the format is closed, Insight might suffer the same
fate as the license server.

The license server was also an interesting idea, but it was sold in a
way that makes it unusable for anyone except SGI. The license server
developer's tools are $10k on my list, and I am not aware of a single
third-party software that uses it (undoubtedly there are some (Frame?),
but it certainly hasn't become the universally accepted way of selling
software). In fact, the company I work for has looked at it, shaken its
collective head, and written a proprietary license server.

Wouldn't it be great if everything - third-party software manuals, TeX
manuals, Webster's (I can dream, can I?), even /usr/man, and of course
the jargon file :-) - would be available as InSight books? Let's hope
legal obstacles won't prevent that.

BTW, is there a way to show the pictures directly in the document, the
way NeXT's digital librarian does it, rather than to hide them in an
icon? Optionally, maybe?

I don't know anything useful about Insight, and was alerted to this
message, but at least I know about SGML.

SGML is an International Standard (ISO 8879), and has been since 1986, and
has been one of ISO's best selling standards.  So "the format of the SGML
documents" is at least partially easily available.  The standard, however,
is not the whole story.  An SGML document conforms to a document type
definition (DTD), and it's really the DTD that defines the names of the
elements (information containers) in the document and their meaning, since
SGML does not specify processing in any way.  The language is "only" a
means to represent a structure of nested information containers as a string
of characters (file, if you want); the rest is up to an application of SGML
to a specific kind of structure.  The good news is that the DTD must be
available with all SGML documents conforming to them, so somewhere on the
system, there should be a concise description of each element, and how they
interrelate, usually in the form of the SGML "document type declaration":
look for the string "<!DOCTYPE" and see what it references.

For more information, see comp.text.sgml, or mail me.

Hope this helps.
