Is the olgx library in OpenWindows a documented library that
developers can use?  I need to write a new OLIT widget and
I would like to use some OPEN LOOK 3D graphics like
arrows and underlines.

Any other suggestions?

Doesn't one have to know exactly what the path and file names are before the
decwrl mailer program can be used?  It is a little tough to know exactly what
to ask for when one doesn't know where it is or the exact name used.  With ftp
one can at least look around for the stuff.

Subject: How to disable scrolling on a Cmd-tool window?
Date: 7 Oct 92 11:24:03 GMT
Organization: Brunel University, Uxbridge, UK
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL6]


Hello.

I want to disable the scroll bar on a Sun cmdtool window from within a 
FORTRAN 77 program, so I can use ANSI cursor control sequences. As it is such
a trivial problem, I don't want to get bogged down with learning how to use
curses or similar, but is there a simple way, e.g. a function call, to remove/ 
disable the scroll bar on an existing cmdtool?

Thanks for any help. By the way, replies by e-mail would be preffered, as
this is not one of my usual groups, but I will check here for replies.

All this is under SunOS 4.1.3 and Openlook 3.? (Filemanager V3).

I told the filemanager that I wanted to use Emacs as my default editor.
Sure enough, I have a .desksetdefaults file that has the lines

deskset.filemgr.useTextedit:    false
deskset.filemgr.otherEditor:    emacs $FILE

and on a few files (notably type default-doc), I now get Emacs when
I double click on the file icon.  On most though, I still get the
TextEditor.  On the other hand, if I select the file and go to "In
Document Editor" under the File/Open menu, I always get Emacs.  Still, I
thought I should get Emacs by double-clicking.  What's broken?

While I'm on the subject, is it possible to put system-wide "custom
commands" in under the File menu?  What file(s) control this sort of
thing for Filemanager?

And another question, what replaces the /etc/filetypes file under
OpenLook 3?  The documentation under Answerbook says something about
this being right for OL2 but that it would be changed.  Well, the file
is there, but is it used?  If so, how do I add entries?  If not, what is
it's equivalent?  Does the cetables stuff supercede all this?  This came
up because I have added a binding for tex files, which are recognized by
having a .tex extension.  Now for files which seem very similar in
format, the properties window from filemgr tells me that some are "ascii
text", some are "English text", and some are "c program text".  Where
does this info come from?

   I'm using olvwm on an IBM RS/6000 running AIX 3.2, and encountering
one nasty little problem.

   After I've been running for several minutes, if I quit a frame or
cause it to go away in some fashion (logging out of an xterm window
is the primary culprit), olvwm starts sucking up all available memory
(as shown by ps and pstat) until it uses up enough to trigger one of
AIX's less lovable features, whereby the OS goes out and kills everything
it can find in an effort to reclaim some swap space.  This is annoying,
to put it mildly.  The whole business happens so quickly that it took
me a little while to figure out what (in system terms) was happening.
The question is, why is olvwm deciding it needs over 30 MB of memory?

   Has anyone run across this problem, and (I hope) solved it?  If not,
I'll have a go at it, although I won't be able to get to it at soon as
I would like.

How about someplace where they are excessable?  Let me explain in simple

But, I can anonuucp lots of stuff from uunet.  Have they been placed there?
How about placing ALL of the OW3.0 patches there.

Subject: How to set fonts in xview
Originator: mpk9172@ultb
Organization: Rochester Institute of Technology
Distribution: usa
Date: Mon, 12 Oct 1992 20:03:08 GMT

The problem is in Xview running on openwindows 3.0.  I want to be able
to set the font of an xview scrolling list to be fixed width.  The obvious
reason is that I need to be able to organize information in columns.  

I was using :

xv_set(PANLE_INSERT_STRINGS,0,stringlist,
		PANEL_LIST_FONTS,font,font,font,font...NULL);

However that is hackish, and there is a limit to the number of arguments
on an argument list.  I am not looking for the "iterative" solution,
where I set the font individually with PANEL_LIST_FONT & 
PANEL_LIST_INSERT_STRINGS (with one argument) in a for loop.  
Performance reasons prevent me from taking this route.
I want to be able to set the default font for the entire scrolling list
(or panel -- Or hell, I'll even set it for the entire freaking application,
I don't really care...As long as its fixed width..).  

Any suggestions? (other than don't use xview...)
Also suggestions that I am somehow violating the openlook standard are
not wanted.

Subject: XView 3.0 resource setting (help)
Organization: Curtin University of Technology
Date: Wed, 14 Oct 1992 23:58:56 GMT


I need help with some XView 3.0 resource setting problems.

I have compiled XView 3.0 on Irix 4.0.5 and I have to execute all xview
applications with the -fullscreendebug option specified or the window 
manager becomes frozen (this is due to a bug in Irix 4.0.5). 

I have been trying for quite some time to get xview programs to recognise 
the xview resource "Fullscreen.Debug: True" which is documented in the xview 
man page that comes with the distribution. I have also been trying to use the
resource "text.extrasMenuFilename: /usr/local/lib/.text_extras_menu", both
without real success.

Here is what I have tried...

	1. adding the following lines to my $HOME/.Xdefaults file

		*Fullscreen.Debug:	True
		*text.extrasMenuFilename:	<as above>

	   after doing this and then executing an xview program I still get
	   a hung window manager and warning messages saying the text menu
	   file could not be found.

	2. adding the above lines to the file /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XView
	
	   after doing so and executing an xview program I still get the 
	   same errors which suggest that the resources are not being loaded.

	3. I then tried the following command using $HOME/.Xdefaults as
	   modified in (1).

		xrdb -merge -nocpp $HOME/.Xdefaults

	   then I tried executing an xview application and hey presto! the
	   text menu file was found and read but the window manager still
	   hung!
	
	   I investigated the xview code and found that in the file

		./xview/lib/libxview/defaults/defaults.c

	   (which lists command line options and their corresponding resource
	   names) there was no resource name associated with the command line
	   option -fullscreendebug although one is listed in the xview
	   documentation!

	   This may well be an XView 3.0 bug. I have seen postings from
	   people who have said that they have managed to get it to work
	   but they have all failed to reply when I have asked them to show
	   me exactly how.

What I want to know is this: What do I have to do to get xview to read the
resources in the .Xdefaults file? I would rather have xview read the resources
in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XView since this will save a lot of frozen window
managers by holding for _all_ users, so what do I have to do to get xview to
read it?

Could anyone who offers me a solution to this please send me (if they don't
mind) full copies of their .Xdefaults, .../app-defaults/XView, .xsession and
any other relevent files files so that I can thoroughly check that I have not 
left out something pathetically obvious (I wouldn't call myself even half
an X expert).

Thanks in advance for any help you may contribute,

Hi,

       Button  NewButton(dpy,win,gc,x,y,buttontype,buttonvalue,func)
       Display *dpy;
       Window  win;

       int     (*func)();
 
  what I do is to create an InputOnly window, and check if ButtonPress event is happened in this window. If it does, then execute the function 'func'. The manner to call this function is like this:
    newbtn=NewButton(display,win,gc,x1,y1,TEXTBUTTON,"Press Here",do_press_func);

  This program is written under the XView enviroment, I don't know how to check  whether the event happened or not. Could you tell me? Thanks.

   When I set a button to be the PANEL_DEFAULT_ITEM in the following way

     xv_set( formatPanel, PANEL_DEFAULT_ITEM, applyButton, NULL );


depends on what version are running, where the focus is when you
hit return and on what your OpenWindows.KeyboardCommands resource
is set to (if you're running V3).

	Hi again!

	I've applied the fixes to xmkmf and site.def as described in the

compile Xarchie or Ghostview, It bombs.  Basically, I'm untarring the
beasties, executing xmkmf, and then running make.  Am I missing something?
When It goes through the compile, it bombs like this:

ld: Undefined symbol
	_sin
	_cos
	_pow
	_floor
	_get_wmShellWidgetClass
	_get_applicationShellWidgetClass
*** Error code 2
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `xarchie'

when trying to do (on Xarchie):

cc -o xarchie aquery.o {bunch of objectfiles} -g -LEzMenu -lezMenu-sparce
-lXaw -lXmu -lXext -lX11 -L/usr/openwin/lib

I've tried it with/without the -L/usr/openwin/lib, but that didn't effect
anything.

If you cannot tell, I'm VERY new to X stuff, so, please, talk down to me.

One of the commands that the ftpmail server supports is 'dir'. Also,
many FTP sites keep a file in the root or pub directory which is an up
to date, recursive list of the directory structure.

Summary: My fax TSR locks up windows every time the phone rings:HELP!
Keywords: tsr, windows

Hello,
    I have a TSR program from Fremont Communication's "Frecom" software which
monitors  a telephone call
for the prescence of a fax transmission tone.  When the
monitoring starts (after one answers the phone) a message window pops up in
the  cornner of the screen.  It shows the status of the call: voice, tones,
fax or whatever is is going on. It also gives options to manually end
the monitoring or to
start to receive a fax.  When I am in windows, the little message pops up and
monitors the call but my computer does not respond to any input of any kind
from the keyboard.  All of the keystrokes get stored somewhere untill the
end of the call and then get spit out, for example in the document which I was
e.diting before the call.
     So the problem is that, when in windows, I cannot terminate the monitoring
 in order to
continue with whatever I am doing on the computer.  This is a pain when someone
else gets a call and I am triing to work(, or play) as the computer is "locked 
up". Does anyone know a fix or
change in any of the windows startup system files that I can use/make?
Thank You.

Hello.  After a major crash in windows, I could not get MS Word for
Windows 2.0 to work at all.  It kept trying to load a (recovered)
file, the one that I was working on when windows assumed room temperature.
Once I searched the disk for text containing that filename, it was
in some abdefhdb.asd (something.asd) file.  I deleted the .asd file
and now everything is fine.  Now I notice that I again have a .asd
file in my W4W directory.  Are theses supposed to be there?

Thanks for any help.
