We have Interactive Unix 3.0 (SV386 3.2), and their Xserver 2.0.  We are 
porting a package written in Common Lisp, and their is a bug in the Xserver
that causes Lisp to immediately abort.  It is Interactive bug #30086.  They
went against standard X protocol and used the top 3 bits of visualid.

Interactive told me to get the X11R5 release from somewhere else, since they
had no plans to fix this bug.  We had a problems building this.  Has anyone
done this?  Any help would be appreciated, or perhaps where to get binaries, or
even a correctly setup x386.cf file for our version of Unix.

Thanks,

Recently I asked:

| "    scriptErr = SCRIPT_ERR_UNRECOGNIZED_WIDGET_NAME;
| "    return 0;

| "  currWin = XtWindow(w);
| "  XGetWindowAttributes(dpy, currWin, &attrib);

| "It bombed right at the XGetWindowAttributes() function with the

| "Program exiting with return status = 1.
| "
| "In xsaber, I checked to make sure that XtName(w) was indeed the name

| "XGetWindowAttributes fail with that value of currWin?  By the way, the
| "value of args[0] was "mainWindow.menubar.button_1" which was one of
| "the item widgets at the top of the motif menubar (verified by editres).


Some of you responded (thanks!) and suggested that I should make sure
that the widget has been realized.  I now have:

  if ((w = XtNameToWidget(toplevel, args[0])) == NULL) {
    scriptErr = SCRIPT_ERR_UNRECOGNIZED_WIDGET_NAME;
    return 0;
  }

  if (!XtIsRealized(w))  /* I added this line */
    XtRealizeWidget(w);
  currWin = XtWindow(w);
  XGetWindowAttributes(dpy, currWin, &attrib);

and tracing it with xsaber shows that the widget w has indeed been
realized already anyway.  So I am back to square one -- not
understanding why the window for that realized widget would be bad.
Please note that the widget was created with
XmVaCreateSimplePulldownMenu which is assigned the instance name of
button_N by Motif, which in my case is button_1.

Any OTHER ideas?  Please send me e-mail directly.  Thanks.

Check out MacX; it is an X11R4 server which runs under MacOS.  
MacX was reviewed in the June (or thereabouts) issue of MacUser; you
should look there for more information.

[ Description of problem getting arc to end on a radial line ]

If you read further on in the manual you will see that there is a
discussion of the necessity to specify angles in the skewed coordinate
system of the ellipse being drawn. Your problem is that you are specifying
the same, unskewed, angle for both the line drawing and the arc drawing.

You need to translate the unskewed angle, a2 in your example, to the
skewed coordinate system of the ellipse, using:

	skewed_angle = atan(tan(a2) * width/height) +
		(a2 < M_PI/2.0) ? 0 :
		(a2 < 3.0*M_PI/2.0) ? M_PI : 2.0*M_PI;

(This assumes a2 is in radians and is in the range 0 to 2.0*M_PI)

Also: xmemo and xfortune & xyow (front ends to fortune & yow).
X11r[45], Xt & Xaw.

    A patch to make xalarm-3.05 from xalarm-3.04 has been released, and is in
  /contrib and contrib/R5fixes/xalarm on export.lcs.mit.edu as the file
  xalarm-3.04-05.patch.Z.  It should migrate out to all export mirror sites
  near you soon.  It has also been mailed to comp.sources.x, so should appear
  there soon (xalarm-3.04 is in Volume 18, Issues 7-10, I think).

    What is it?  Xalarm is an interactive alarm clock analogous to a
  combination of leave(1) and calendar(1), only much more powerful.  Do you
  need reminders for everything; from when you've got a meeting, to what time
  lunch is today?  This might be for you!  See below for more.  Xalarm is
  suitable both as an entry under a window manager (for one-off alarms), and
  inclusion in an X initialisation script (for alarms in an alarm file).

    Enjoy, Simon.

Hi. I am a novice X user and I have somne questions about using X with
Emacs. We have Emacs 18.58.2 which at least supports using the mouse and
the X arrow keys, so that's a start, but I want to be able to remap some
of the keyboard for easier use. The problem is, the terminal seems to
send codes that are too complex for the usual emacs key-remapping
functions. I'm using a Visual TX100M terminal, by the way.

Forgive me if this belongs in the emacs group. I'll check there if no
one responds here.

Thanks in advance,

I had similar problems with AIX 3.1.5 . Sometimes, X got killed in a bad
way, and the entire X screen stayed on the display. More like your problem:
when I quit twm, the display is cleared, but when the normal text screen
appears, shades of my xterms are put over it, and the screen freezes as
well.
Both can be solved by sending a 'clear screen' to /dev/hft:

        tput -Thft clear > /dev/hft
or
	clear > /dev/hft
or even
	echo 'some text' > /dev/hft

from another terminal (since the machine is not dead, only the console
hangs).

I automated this by having a little process running in the background, that 
clears the screen every once and a while (e.g. every minute) when nobody
is logged in on the console:

	#!/bin/csh
	# Usage: 'cleard &' somewhere in your .login
	
	#
	# Is cleard already running?
	#
	if (`ps ax | grep cleard | wc -l` > 2)\
	        exit
	#
	# Loop and check every minute for a process starting with a '-'
	# like '-csh'
	#
	while 1
	        if (`ps a | grep hft | take +25 | grep '^-' | wc -l` == 0) then
	                tput -Thft clear > /dev/hft
	        endif
	        sleep 60
	end
	
'take +25' strips off the first 25 characters of a line, since I only
need the process name (COMMAND), and not the PID, STAT, TTY and TIME fields.
There must be other ways to accomplish this, but it works for me, so why
change, aye?
	
A better solution than starting 'cleard' on every login would be to start a
similar process on boot-up, but I'm just an ordinary user, far from root.
A backdraw of my approach is, that it may clear the screen just when someone
is trying to log in, i.e. typing his password. I don't know if it can do
any serious harm, though.

Hope it helps.
Marcel.

Hello,

We are writing an editor for mathematical purposes. This editor uses multiple
(proportional) fonts. When new fonts are available they can be added in a
easy way, but we don't have a propper font editor.

So, is there a (good) font editor which can change existing fixed fonts
to proportional fonts or create new fonts and is it possible to make
a new font with more then 256 characters?
Or, is there a way to combine a number of small fonts to one large font?

If the answer to these questions is no, can someone send the structure of 
the bdf-files so we can try to write our own font editor.

We would appreciate all replys that are send to wsinpv@urc.tue.nl or to
this news group.

XFillRectangle.

A point is merely that.   You must use other routines to have a point

If I get you right, you seem to know that OpenWindows must be run with
the rooted MacX windows. Another point is that you should run olwm in
the -single mode. So put into your command

% olwm -single

Does this help?

As a software developer, what do I *LOSE* by using the
Xt "intrinsics toolkit" over raw Xlib calls in my code?
Efficiency? Larger executables?  Decreased reliability?
Reduced portability between platforms?  Do I cut myself
out of any platform vendors which might have Xlib
implemented but not Xt?  I need to balance losses against
obvious gains in functionality.

In my design considerations, portability is number
one since I can't possibly afford to purchase an
instance of each workstation on which I want my
software to run.  For the same reason, I must ship
source code, therefore, I need Xt to be consistently
implemented on all platforms.  Complexity for the
users to understand is not an issue because X is
completely hidden.  (In fact, X is only one of
several display technologies used by my code.)

Any help and advice would be appreciated.  Pointers
to sources of other info would be great.  Please
e-mail me directly and I will post a summary.
Thanks in advance.

WNN and KINPUT are used to input Kanji and kana in an Xwindows system.
Kterm is the terminal window (modified xterm) that displays the 
kanji and kana or the hangul or hanzi. For more informantion, I refer you
to sci.lang.japan and also ftp to ucdavis.edu (128.120.2.1) or crl.nmsu.edu 
(128.123.1.14). There should be a file there called japan.inf.
