I could swear that I saw someone mention an X weather program that will
collect and animate satellite weather maps on an X screen.  All I seem to be
able to find are simple telnet clients, or a weather program in perl on
alt.sources a few days ago.

Pointers will be appreciated.

Hi,

I'm attempting to build the latest release of SeeTeX and have found several
problems.  First off, mftobdf does not appear to work in the manner described
in the README's and scripts in the package, I keep getting the error:

	Line 1: line too long 

and the thing craps out.  Also, it appears that the SeeTeX-fonts file that used
to be in contrib on export is no longer there (acquisition of this would bypass
the need for mftobdf of course), anycody know where the fonts archive is now?

Yours frustratedly,

Well, *you* disappoint *me*, Craig. I thought everyone had at least *some*
sense of humor. For someone who claims to like MP you sure were a dry person.

As for the "aka"-ing all over the place...I think it was pretty creative and
has become a backbone of this group..well maybe an arm or leg...or maybe a toe.
If you would bother to look, you would find that all of us here are die-hard
Python fans. But you were too quick to judge it seems. Try a little creativity,
a little originality. Pure discussion is a trite boring. And what better
newsgroup to toss in a bit of lunacy and silliness that one of the masters

Hi,

I tried to use WM_DELETE_WINDOW, hoping to let my program know when a
window is going to be killed. But my code didn't work with twm (Sun,
X11R5), mwm, 4Dwm (SGI/Iris, X11R4).

Here's my code:

	....
	Atom delw;
	....
	delw = XInternAtom(display, "WM_DELETE_WINDOW", False);
	XSetWMProtocols(display, window, &delw, 1);
	....
	/* event-handling loop ... get event in variable ev */
	switch (ev.type) {
	....
	case ClientMessage:
		printf("Got it!\n");
		/* free/destroy everything and close display */
		break;
	....
	}
	....

My program just opened a window, "xprop" showed:

	WM_STATE(WM_STATE):
			window state: Normal
			icon window: 0x0
	WM_ICON_NAME(STRING) = "Test"
	WM_NAME(STRING) = "Test"
	WM_PROTOCOLS(ATOM): protocols  WM_DELETE_WINDOW
	....

Then I selected window menu (mwm) "Quit" or "Exit" -- nothing happened
to that window, and the program still ran happily.

What should I do? I saw some articles on this issue posted some weeks
ago -- could anybody send me copies of those articles, or even better,
a summery?

Thanks a lot.

Tony - have you ever tried this? [trick question!  ;-) ]

At least for us (HP710's w/HP-uX8.07 and B.03.00 X-server tape), the above
did not work - I had to leave the  .0  off - i.e. 
       xterm1:0) startup=/usr/lib/X11/xdm/sys.xsession;;

I tracked this down through the maze of startup files that are invoked;
but can't remember how I figured it out. Despite this minor error, let
me say that the overall documentation and setup of the HP X-terms is great!

Also, has enyone noticed that the initial clock (when running xdm) comes
up in Eastern time. I believe this is because /etc/src/src.{c}sh is not
executed, and so the time zone is not set. I got around this by adding
a TZ=MST7MDT; export TZ  in /usr/lib/X11/xdm/sys.xsession  near the top.

Happy users of HP X-terminals,

I checked the Tk code, and the difference between menu buttons and the menus
themselves is that the buttons draw to off-screen pixmaps and the menus draw
directly on the screen.  As I mentioned in my earlier reply (which must have
crossed in the mail with the above message) the problem seems to be with
the IBM server code that draws to off-screen pixmaps:  only the leftmost
8 bit-columns of each character appear if they're drawn to a pixmap rather
than the screen.  Most applications probably don't double-buffer their
redisplays so they don't show up the problem.  Also, the problem only happens
with some fonts (e.g. Helvetica and Courier, but Times is OK).

Me too!

And indeed, I wonder why I haven't heard folks call Sun on the continuing 
use of NeWS in OW before.  I always think that James Gosling must be putting
in some brilliant overtime, arguing for some kind of future for NeWS, though
I've also wondered what that could be.  Currently it seems that, however 
successful the X11/NeWS implementation is, whether it is clever or no, 
NeWS and X11 are something like oil and water.  

I also was a (happy) NeWS programmer - perhaps the reason the truth 
about NeWS wasn't talked about before very much (at least publicly) is 
that only former NeWS programmers fully understand the issue.

Obtaining a) b) and c), along with use of Display in some X12 future would
be very interesting, but I expect we're talking here of a whole new rewrite.  
Does someone have information on the Plan 9 server Basile talks about in b)?
Perhaps Bill Joy and etc, in Colorado are addressing these issues?

I thought he was refering to the appaling scrolling that happens if the Sun
machine is just in text mode (not in Open Windows etc) and behaves as if in
a terminal (almost). The scrolling is almost as slow as a ZX81 (made by Clive
Sinclair in 1981, based on a Z80 and had 1K RAM, marketed in the States by
Timex). Why is the scrolling so slow?

Everywhere above, "events" should be replaced by "event handlers".

There should be no upper limit on the number of event handlers allowed to
be registered for a single window.  In the R4 Intrinsics library, registering
close to 100 event handlers for any single window will cause an internal Xt
data structure to overflow.  The implementation, in Event.c, assumed a
static maximum number of event handlers.  Fixed in R5.

In the R4 world I used to have all my snf fonts compressed.  I have tried this 
with the pcf fonts in R5 and found that mkfontdir craps out.  Is this true,
that the Consortium has removed the option for compressed fonts?  If so, its
a big shame as that was a very attractive feature.

I have the first printing of the 7 volume set "The Definitive Guides
to the X Window System", copyright 1990.

I was wondering if there is a more recent printing than this?

Thanks,

   Perhaps this isn't the best newsgroup to post this question
to, so if anyone is aware of gurus in some other newsgroup then
please let me know.

   What I am looking for is some sort of tool (perhaps based
upon X windows), that will allow me to visually create
mathematical symbols and then have it generate the corresponding
LaTeX ascii-based code to print out these symbols.

Thanks
