Is it? I think it can be found anywhere where you can find the GNU

Look in the gnu and msdos directories.

Same site also has an archie server. Should come up with something on "gs252".

Also does anyone know of a program that runs through windows and will

There's also a program called Paint Shop Pro (PSP) available from
windows FTP sites.  It will also save to quite a few other formats too,
so it's worth a look.

Hi, net!  I just got a spiffy ET4000 SVGA and want to run DOS prompts

tweaked to do this right.  The same problem exists if I start 
Procomm in anything but 24x80.  It seems that I can *start* an app
in extended mode OK, but switching between windowed and fullscreen
breaks up the display.
Any help at all is gratefully appreciated.

HI,
	Iam involved in a project wherein we transform a particular
	schema in a data model to a equivalent schema in some other
	data model. Schemas are represented either in text or in a  
	graphical form. When the transformation is done from a textual
	form to a graphic representation it is necessary to assign
	coordinates to all the entities in the schema so that they
	can be displayed on the screen using a graphic tool. A algorithm
	which does this has already been developed.

	The schema consists of classes which are represented by means of
	a rectangular block. Relationship between classes are modeled using
	links between the related classes.

	The demands on the alogorithm are as follows :-

		While assigning coordinates it is necessary to make sure that the
	same coordinates are not assigned to more than one class i.e., no classes
	overlap with each other. The links are assigned a starting point and a 
	end point coordinate. The path traversed by a link shouldn't cross a
	already assigned class. Links can cross each other. 

		My question is, has any thing similar to this been done before and 
	and is there any other application for such an algorithm. Please send replies
	to ps@carp.cis.ufl.edu.

	Thanx in advance.

	Prakash Sreewastav.

(Assuming that by "X-windows" you mean the X Window System, more
briefly called simply X...)

No.  There may be no such xterm (eg, program started via rsh, from a
menu, or from some other terminal emulator), or it may be in no
condition to receive input focus (eg, iconified, or perhaps even dead).

Also, since input focus is a window manager function, this would have
to be done as a request to the window manager, and there's no defined
way to make such a request.

> 2)  Is it possible to "redirect" all keyboard-input that comes (to

No.  The first paragraph of reasons above is part of why.  Besides
that, though, note that xterm tends to ignore synthetic events....

Almost certainly.  If the pixmaps are the same depth, XCopyArea is
almost certain to be far faster, especially since XYPixmap is usually
not the "native" format and thus has to be converted to and from, which
will cost.

Besides that, XFree is not the right thing to use to free up the XImage
returned by XGetImage.  You should use XDestroyImage.

They refer to the Multi-Buffering extension, designed for
multi-buffered animation.  "mono" and "stereo" presumably refer to flat

I wanted the bibliography to be useful to readers, not necessarily to
publishers.  Do readers really want the O'Reilly books listed
separately; alphabetically by author?  Or does anyone really care?

I was under the impression that most readers consider the "Definitive
Guides" to be a set and prefer them listed together.  Note that
O'Reilly books that are not part of this series are already listed
separately.

   dpy_db = XtDatabase(dpy);			/* display's db    */

   XrmMergeDatabase(dpy_db, &file_db);		/* destroys dpy_db */

   dpy->db = file_db;	/* replace destroyed db with the merged db */

I do this since I need to load some resource values from a file used to
specify some widget resources, such as color and fonts.  These resource
files are used by a number of clients and to avoid duplicating the values
in each client's system app-defaults file, they are placed in these files
and each client loads them itself by calling code remarkably similar to
the above :).

However, the user may override some or all of these values in their own
app-defaults file, which is why the merge is from the dpy_db, which
XtAppInitialize() (actually XtDisplayInitialize(), I suppose) has so kindly
built for us, to the resource db from the file: the possible user settings
from their app-defaults file, contained in dpy_db, will override the file
defaults in file_db.

But... in the latest X Resource, it is noted that for R6, the consortium
will be changing the Xlib header files to disallow direct access to the
Display structures, since this is how the spec says they should be (ie.
opaque structures).

So, the above code will most likely break in R6.  Since I may not recall
that I'm doing things this way when R6 comes out (or by the time we get it
on AIX), I'd like to correct this so I don't have to worry about it.

Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to do this.  Does anyone have
a way to correct my problem, that is, a ``correct'' way to merge the 
display database with another database and then replace the display's with
the newly created merged database?

Thanks.
