It cost $10K, but it was definitely more powerful than the original Mac:
1M of RAM instead of 128K (!), 5M hard disk instead of 400K floppy, multi-
tasking operating system. The GUI was more primitive, but that was fixable.

I'll swap *my* original 128K Mac for a Lisa any day.

Seconded. I used the Star in '82 and the Lisa and Mac were a big
disappointment. I'll swap my original Mac for one of those, too.

Seconded! In both directions: to program the GUI, and to run programs
not suited for the GUI.

------------ WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING !!! WARNING ----------------

The above code uses an undocumented and -OBSOLETE- version of the Defaults
Service.  OpenWindows 3.0.1 (packaged with Solaris 2) has replaced it with
a documented mechansim which provides capabilities much closer to those
availiable to X programs.  The above code will cause a PostScript dump on
OW 3.0.1 or later.

(We intentionally didn't document the OW3.0 version because we recognized
that it was inadequate, and would need to be re-written.)


If you have access to the 3.0.1 PS files, you should be able to extract
the DefaultsService from them, rename it to avoid comflict with the 3.0
version and use them in your program with a 3.0 server.  (You can't just
replace the 3.0 version without grovelling through the entire toolkit, and
the demos to make sure that you've changed all of the references to use
the new API.)

This manual does not come with the standard OW3.0 docset, so I don't have it.
Did you have to order it specially, or is my copy (which didn't arrive until
May!!) deficient?

Someone else told me in email that they are the fonts whose names end with
.f3b, which tells me which ones they are; is there anything significant about
them (other than the legal restrictions already discussed) to merit 5 pages

If it was a kitchen sink O/S it'd be in the kernel. :->

More to the point, X has *two* operating systems: the X server, and the
toolkit running in the client. Each has to get their own scheduling right,
and that scheduling has to properly interact with the UNIX scheduling.

I really wish we could dump X and switch to NeWS...

Well the application I know of that can dynamically scale F3 fonts happens to
be.....

xnews.

Sounds like anything that uses xnews is covered.

This by the way is the reason that I would find it highly unlikely that
SunSoft will ever donate/give away/throw out the xnews source. Anyone could
take the server and generate their own version of NeWSprint. (By anyone I
mean anyone interested in making a commercial product.)

It certainly appears that NeWS is now in a state of rigor mortis, seems like
all hope of having it as part of the vaunted project DOE has vanished.

Of course whatever happened to the person who was "leading" up the project
DOE work for SunSoft anyway? Seems he jumped ship for the NeXT generation
of distributed objects...

The Tandy 102 (and the earlier, very similar model 100) makes a 
very fine little portable terminal, and it does indeed come standard
with an internal modem, although it is only 300 baud.  If you can
live with the 40x8 screen, and the 300 baud rate, it's a great 
little unit, and can be had used for $200 - $300.  If you need 
a higher data rate, a good way to go might be a model 100/102
and one of those pocket modems; in addition to the built-in
modem, there's an rs-232 port that runs up to 9600 baud.
I've had a number of 100s on and off over the years, and have
liked them a lot.  They have their limitations, but they give
you a lot of capability for the money.  Good luck.

You might want to get an HP95LX and an external, portable modem.
All told, it would probable cost you $650...cheaper if you buy
used components.  And since the modem can be used on other systems,
that's a plus over a built-in modem.  The whole setup would still
be smaller than a traditional notebook.

That's one of the reasons I bought my HP95LX...to use as a terminal
when I'm on the road, without having to lug around some huge laptop.
And the calendar and phone book are a bonus!

Organization: Tramway Unix Systems
Date: Sat, 29 Aug 1992 04:00:51 GMT
Summary: is something set up screwey here?
Keywords: 630MTG downloading 

I just spent a fitful 3 hours(!) trying to get fontload to download a
font to my AT&T 630MTG terminal.  Fontload initially wouldn't load
correctly.  The window would clear, the "raster fill" would start,
and then hang about 4 pixel rows in.  Then, I got it up and cached
(finally) after 24 attempts.

Loading fonts turned out to be a nightmare.  The little clock would
appear, the hands would turn for a while, but they would eventually
freeze.  Even the "abort download" did not work.

I've got my terminal sitting off an AT&T 3B2/400 EPORTS line.  Right
now, it's configured for 19200 baud, no parity 8 bits, no encoding,
and rec/gen flow on.  This is what I get from stty -a

speed 19200 baud; line = 0; intr = ^c; quit = ^|; erase = ^h; kill = ^u; eof = ^d; eol = ^`; swtch = ^`

opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel tab3 

So, is there anyone out there than can suggest what to do to help
this terminal download without problems?  I have never seen it miss
bits in straight text.  I doubt the cs7 makes a difference - fontload
works with it in both settings.  The only difference between the
machine now (when it works) and before (when it didn't) is that the
load has dropped considerably.  Is there some way to enable a
handshake/XON between the terminal to prevent this stuff from
happening?

Thanks in advance!

AT&T's DMD host support (core, software development, and text+graphics)
packages may still be available from AT&T software licensing.

BSD layers support is available from UCSD, also at one time at least from
AT&T Teletype (NCR?).

The AT&T UNIX System ToolChest has some additional DMD (also MTG) software
including a couple of nifty standalone games, but also DMD support is
included in the algorithm animation package and some of the others.
The "dmd-pgmg" package includes Dave Prosser's "myx" replacement terminal
emulator which was a big hit here.

The S system for interactive data analysis and graphics, licensed via AT&T,
includes interactive support for DMD and MTG (among zillions of other,
generally less interactive, graphics devices).

I have a few small DMD/MTG utilities including my own implementation of
"crabs", "eyes" (inspired by "xeyes"), and "swarm" (inspired by "sperm"),
which are totally useless, and "dmdp" which is useful for driving an
attached printer.

Other DMD/MTG users may have other code they'd contribute for the asking.

Generally you'll need the DMD software development system to build DMD
applications.
