While waiting for a DeskJet 500C driver for xpr, you could get Ghostscript
version 2.4 off the ftp archives and translate your xwd file to
PostScript and then let for instance PBM and gs do the rest:

	1a. xwd -> PostScript using PBM filters

	# xwdtopnm < dump.xwd | ppmtops > dump.ps
	
	  		or

	1b. X window -> PostScript using XtoPS
	
	# XtoPS > dump.ps

	Note: I don't think xpr will produce color PostScript even if
	      your xwd dump file has color information!

	2. PS-> DeskJet 500C

	# gs -sDEVICE=djet500c -sOUTPUTFILE=dump.djet dump.ps

I have just used the 'ljet2p' driver in Ghostscript to produce PCL
graphics from a PostScript file. It worked fine. I have not tried the
djet500c driver though, but it will probably work as well.

    I'd like to know if there is a standard protocol for serial X terminals and
    where I could find the draft of this standard.

The X Consortium is working on such a standard, but it will be a while before
it is available.  Here is a summary that hopefully should make it into the
FAQ list:

"Low Bandwidth X (LBX)" is the name of an X Consortium project that is working
on a standard for running X over low bandwidth channels such as serial lines.
The working group is being chaired by NCD and Xerox and is using NCD's XRemote
protocol as a stepping stone in developing the new protocol.

In brief, applications running at the other end of the serial line use a proxy
or "helper" version of the X server (vaguely like xscope) running on either a
host or a terminal server.  The proxy multiplexes the client connection streams
together, removes redundancies and padding from the X protocol, compresses the
resulting data, and transports it over the serial line.  The display reverses
the process to recreate the original application request streams.

Although these operations alone are already more efficient than running X over
raw SLIP (some requests can see as much as a 10x improvement), LBX will be
focusing on how to do even better.  Proxy-side caching of commonly-used
information (e.g. connection setup data, large window properties, font metrics,
keymaps, etc.) will be used extensively to reduce the amount of data that has
to be transmitted.

The hope is to have a Standard ready for public review in the first half of
next year and a sample implementation available in R6.

The original DECwindows product that was supplied with VMS 5.1 through VMS 5.5
is X11R3 based.  Applications in this kit are based on the XUI toolkit which
DEC invented.  This product is being phased out.

The DECwindows Motif product is X11R4 based.  As I understand it, it is not
bundled with VMS...  it requires a separate install kit and license. 
Typically, there is not cost involved...  it's just a separate kit.

#2) Is VMS DECWindows a full X11 distribution?  Does it support all of
#the XLib toolkit?  Are there any other toolkits that are always
#included?

Xlib isn't (IMHO) a toolkit.  DECwindows has a Xlib interface that is pretty
good.

Original DECwindows includes the XUI toolkit.
DECwindows Motif includes XUI and Motif.

There are public-domain and commercial ports of other toolkits.

#3) Is there any easy way for X programs running under VMS (with the
#DECNet protocol, I suppose) to communicate with X servers running under
#Unix? (either Ultrix or otherwise)

Three ways come to mind:

1)  Install DECnet on the UNIX box (assuming it's available and works with X)
2)  Install TCP/IP on the VMS box (seems like all the IP for VMS vendors now
    support X windows)
3)  Use a gateway between the two protocols.  I believe there is one available
    under ULTRIX, TGV will be shipping one with MultiNet TCP/IP (for VMS)
    around the May timeframe.

#4) Are there any special issues that have to be addressed in porting an
#XLib-based program from Unix to VMS?

I'll let someone else tackle this one.  My own experiments find Xlib to be
pretty portable...  it's the toolkits and o/s call that haunt you.

Have you had a look at XbaeMatrix, posted some time ago to
comp.sources.x.
The author is Andrew Wason (aw@bae.bellcore.com).
I think he has implemented a widget with exactly such a functionality.

Exactly!  THe MITSHM extension is only meant for local clients (where it is

You were *extremely* lucky that you were doing a (presumably) vanilla 
install..

I've installed Oracle on several machines (with a previous employer) and 
have faced the downright irritating install process, including inexcusable
broken Makefiles. 

If you're going to sell software to Unix people, make sure everything works under
Unix -- and that, I think, is the point Peter was trying to make in his 
post.

I will say, though, that once Oracle works (which *can* take a while), it
is a terribly fine database engine.

Where does the big hex string that's used to add displays to xauth come
from?

My compiled xdm seems to be ignoring my 'DisplayManager*authorize: false'
line... (Syntax/spelling from memory, it's beside the point).  Which is
OK.  (Even running xdm in debug mode shows that it parses the line
correctly, but then still tries to use .Xauthority on a login...  Oh well).

So I login as root from the X terminal, and it creates a /.Xauthority
file.  Fine.  I 'xauth -extract' it or somesuch, and create my own 
.Xauthority file...  Part of my creating my own .Xauthority involved my
typing in some monster long hex string as the last parameter to xauth.
Where'd it come from?

This is a DS5000/240, Ultrix 4.2a, MIT X11R4 xdm (not dec supplied unsupported),
going to an NCD17c X terminal.

The manpage on xauth goes into great detail about having an even number
of hex digits, and other crap, but the other files section doesn't mention
that it gets this number from some file....

    I think you need to give the window name as well.  I use:

Mwm*Xman.clientDecoration: title

and only get a title.  However, you have to set this *before* mwm starts
up (it doesn't change on-the-fly). 

Other options to this are:
   all border maximize minimize none resizeh menu title

If  you  start with a "-" it adds all then removes what is in your list,
otherwise it starts with nothing and adds in your choices.

Whenever I try to use the resize command -- to help set

I can't figure it out -- xterm seems to work fine 99% of the time
but when you run resize it prints the ROWS and COLUMNS info then 
the window disappears.  

Has anyone else had this problem, or have a clue as to what's causing it.

I am using Xvision on a PC and MS-windows is the window manager if that
makes a difference.  

My feeling is that it is doing something funny to the tty settings (iotcl)
and causing my window to crash??

I am having a problem using the AsciTextWidget, I was wondering if there
was someone out there who could give me a quick answer...

What I want to be able to do is write to file using ordinary methods,

fputs to a FILE stream...

Then what I want to be able to do is display the text in a widget, and have
it non-editable... but I want to be able to write to the text file, using
fputs again, and have the widget detect that the file is different than its
internal buffer and refresh its display...

I have attempted to create the widget by first including,

#include <X11/Xaw/AsciiText.h>
#include <X11/Xaw/AsciiSrc.h>
#include <X11/Xaw/Text.h>


String fallback_resources [] = {

        "*allowShellResize: True",
        "*MessageBoard.fromVert: Label1",
        "*MessageBoard.scrollVertical: whenNeeded",
        "*MessageBoard.scrollHorizontal: whenNeeded",
        "*MessageBoard.string: /tmp/oneliners",
        "*MessageBoard.type: file",
        "*MessageBoard.displayCaret: False",
        "*Buttons.fromVert: MessageBoard",
        "*Quit.shapeStyle: roundedRectangle",
        "*Quit.cornerRoundPercent: 30",
        "*Update.fromHoriz: Quit",
        "*Update.sensitive: False",
        "*Update.shapeStyle: roundedRectangle",
        "*Update.cornerRoundPercent: 30",
        "*font: -*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*",
        "*background: LightSteelBlue",
         NULL
};

                        dl->ascii = XtVaCreateManagedWidget ("MessageBoard",
                                                        asciiTextWidgetClass,
                                                        dl->frame, NULL);

What happens is that the widget appears, but there is no text inside at all.
In fact by modifying the displayCaret value in the fallback_resources I
was able to determine that the fallbacks were working.  Also I did verify
that the file /tmp/oneliners existed and had stuff in it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

   I haven't found how to do it and I wonder if it is possible.

2) I haven't found either how to know how full is a colormap, i.e. how much
    entries are not used. 

3) The station on which I work has 2 visual : a PseudoColor and a DirectColor,
   is it normal that I can't use shared colormaps ?

This is because you've  changed the translation table for every widget
in the application, including the viewport which actually contains 
the multilist widget. Unfortunately the viewport is explicitly unmapped
and mapped within the workproc triggered by the Ps(), hence the recurring
calls of Ps().

saying:

Xzap.translations: #override\n\
	<MapNotify>:    Ps()

should do the trick.

(I unmap and map the viewport because I adjust its height if it gets greater
than a certain value and don't want the intermediate state to be displayed).

This sounds like the problem I had under SunOS 4.1.1 on a Sun3 when I
compiled the X server with /usr/5bin/cc by mistake.  Changing my path to
search /bin before /usr/5bin and recompiling fixed the problem.  At the
time I suspected it was due to the Sys 5 flavor ioctls, but don't
recall if I had any hard evidence of that.  It would be nice if the default
sun.cf specified /bin/cc explicitly.
