a) If sunview is not loaded openwin loads a kernel module named evq
(event queue I guess) using modload. This requires the following
line in your kernel config file:

options VDDRV           # loadable modules

b) If you have just copied /usr/openwin from another machine
run install_openwin (as root) which will create /etc/openwin/...

c) If you never change the number of loaded modules the following
does not matter. There is a bug in:

	/etc/openwin/modules/evqload
	/etc/openwin/modules/winlockload

the test
	
	if [ -f /dev/??? ]; then
		rm /dev/???

should be

	if [ -c /dev/??? ]; then
		rm /dev/???

as the former is never true (as a device entry is not a file). These
device entries need to be recreated when the modules are loaded since
the major device number is allocated at load time.

From the mtools Readme:
  Mtools is a public domain collection of programs to allow Unix systems
  to read, write, and manipulate files on an MSDOS filesystem (typically a
  diskette).

Mtools has been available at anonymous ftp site: cs.ubc.ca. It is probably available
on others but I havn't checked.

I used mtools to list directories and copy files from an optical disk. The disk was
ISO formated and had a msdos filesystem written on it. I had to make a new device
entry in the mtools devices.c module, which was explained in the documentation.

Hope this helps.

You can alternately add the OW fonts to your X server's font path with

Yep, now I've been playing with it a couple of days and it works ok! :-(
NO, I haven't bought it yet but I got hold of a demo version!!!!!!!! :-)

I expected a lot more but here is the result from my previous post and
also directions on how to obtain the demo version.

It is written in NeWS (that may be why I'm a bit disappointed with the
user interaction) but I have been told that a X port is on its way!! :-)

It is on ftp.uu.net under /pub/vendor/dux (I think). Grab it all and you
have a demo version that runs for 5 minutes. It is also on Sun CD-Ware 4.

Stefan Mueller-Pfeiffer, your return address looks a bit out of the usual
(@vm.uni-c.dk:IFF327@DJUKFA11) so I'll give you the information this way:
Dux Software sells SimCity for $89/user and you may need to contact your
Sun dealer and not a PC-dealer!

Organization: National Radio Astronomy Observatory

Date: Sun, 20 Dec 1992 03:20:28 GMT

Earlier I described a problem where the OpenWindows 3.0 calendar
manager (cm) dumped core on me anytime it tried to pop up an
appointment.  I found out what was causing it but I still don't
understand why it happens.  Just how.

Anyway, if my environment is very large (as it was, with hundreds of
environment variables -- don't ask why) when cm is started, I get the
core dumps.  If I start cm _before_ defining the variables, everything
seems to work and I haven't been able to make it break yet.

My guess is that the large environment somehow makes cm clobber an
internal variable or (more likely) pointer and it then wanders off
into the weeds.  But this is just that - a guess.

The last time I saw mailtool, it was just an interface to /usr/ucb/mail
without added features.  There are plenty of more featureful user mail agents
out there, like Messages from the Andrew ToolKit.  Even if you still want
to run mailtool, though, just put /usr/openwin/lib after /usr/lib/X11 in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  It's just an XView client and thus in no way requires the
xnews server.

I have had quite a few problems.  Have you tried to run SunNet Manager?

There seems to be a lot of stuff that does not work with window managers other
than olwm (or olvwm).  One person here suggests that this is a design feature

SimCity for the SPARC is on the latest Catalyst 4 CD-rom available free from Sun.
It looks quite nice using multiple windows for varois displays.  It is definitely
rewritten to take advantage of a SPARC.

The manual included with the software, is a book written by Stephen Wolfram, 
"Mathematica, A System for Doing Mathematics by Computer".  It should be
available in most College bookstores. (~$50 Hardback or ~$30 paper)

ISBN # for the Hardback edition is 0-201-51502-4.  (0-201-51507-5 for paperback)
Publisher is Addison Wesley.  It's an outstanding text.

The SUN version of Mathematica does not include a notebook interface like those
available on Mac's or NeXT's. Ask your administrator if your network supports 
running the frontend interface on a Mac and the processing kernal on the Sun.
It makes a significant difference.

There is a manual specifically for Sparcs but it has to do with installation 
and configuration primarily.  The book above is what you want.

Yes, one small step :-)

On all systems that run OW3, as root, run the following:

setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin
$OPENWINHOME/bin/install_openwin

This copies the loadable modules into place, sets up the tooltalk
entries in /etc/ined.conf and a couple of other things. have a look at
the script.

If you install from the CD then this gets run for you automatically.
