The Windows Paintbrush program can save to PCX files.  Choose "save as"
and select PCX from the file format box in the lower left corner of
the dialog box.

I'm having problems implementing window-level accelerators in a xview application.
Following the example of accelerating a PANEL_BUTTON provided XView Programming
Manual(Volume 7 of O'Reilly, pg 145-146), I added the following line of code:

	xv_set(frame,
	       FRAME_ACCELERATOR, "q", quitWindow, quit_button,
	       NULL);

According to the book, the function quitWindow() should get called when
'q' is pressed combined with the Meta key.  But that isn't happening.
It just beeps when I do so.

I've also tried to implement it using FRAME_X_ACCELERATOR instead:

	xv_set(frame,
	       FRAME_X_ACCELERATOR, XK_Return, quitWindow, quit_button,
	       NULL);
However, this doesn't work either.

Can someone also recommend any books on XView besides O'Reilly's Volume 7?

Direct replies to kristine@key.amdahl.com will be appreciated.

Thank you.

The version of pbmplus I have doesn't support it, neither does xv.

Let me be more specific.  How do you specify "wide character" or

Actually, when Xremote is being used, there are three components: the
client, the server, and the terminal.  Nothing special happens on clients
(the machines that execute the application programs).  The terminal is an X
terminal or PC that dials up to the server (a workstation or minicomputer)
on which the user runs the Xremote server.

In other words, you'd like a workstation to be an Xremote terminal.  As far
as I've heard, there's no implementation of the Xremote terminal for
workstations.  The protocol has been licensed to some PC X server vendors
(e.g. Desqview/X).

Hi,

I've used vtwm for a long while, but now I want to switch over to mwm,
to keep a consistent l&f.

But I also want to have a virtual desktop feature available, and mwm
(dunno about motif 1.2 ?) doesn't provide one.

I tried a tool called xrooms, but it often crashed and didn't recognize
windows well, so it's not that useful.

Is there any really good vitualization tool for mwm available ?

Greetings All

I am in the process of setting up X11R5 on a DECstation 3100 running
Ultrix 4.3. I have the font server running and can access it via TCP
with no problem. I notice that the manual states that it is accessable
via DECnet, but I cannot seem to get it to work.

Has anybody been able to get the font server working over DECnet?

Has this been implemented yet?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Anyone who has tried to mix X11 Intrinsics (Xt) and a C++ string class
library will be familiar with the problem I am faced with.

The FAQ suggests I should find a workaround. So far I have not found
one that is very satisfactory. In particular, if one source module
includes both <X11/Intrinsic.h> and a string class header <String.h>
(from libg++ version 2.3), then we have trouble.

I have modified Intrinsic.h so that the Xt String typedef is instead a
#define when using C++.  Now X11/Intrinsic.h must be included after
<String.h> so the C++ String class is defined properly, but the
#define in Intrinsic.h trashes any subsequent attempt to use the
String class in the source module.

The obvious answer is to not include both String.h and Intrinsic.h in
one module, but that is not so easy, given the application. But I will
if I must.

We are using X11R5 patch 19, g++ 2.3.2 and libg++ 2.3(.2?)

Any suggestions?

Kind regards,

Any Idea? Gcc is version 2.3.3, compiled with target=i386-sysv4, I build
the stage3 compliler wich was identical to stage2, should I try 'gas'
instead of the supplied assembler? (BTW this is ATT SYSV386 Rel 4.0)


Any hint is welcome!

These settings can be changed in the '/usr/openwin/lib/xdm/Xsession'
file.  Look for the 'exec xterm' line and add the 'geometry' option.
For example I use:

	exec xterm -geometry 80x24+250+200 -iconic -ls

Good Luck,

I need to know if there is a way to scale bitmaps or if there is another
way to handle this problem.

We need to draw items on a screen (trucks, etc).  But we also need
them to be compatable when porting to other systems with DISPLAYS
of another resolution.  Drawing the figures are no problem, but
keeping them all together may be.  For example, when we drag 
and drop the item (i.e. truck).

Any advice will be appreciated.

Look through the back numbers of the CommACM. Within the past few months there
has been an article on how to write a ``proper'' random number generator.Sorry,
I am not next to my archives and can't look up the issue number for you.

The whole thing is about 10 lines of code.

I would recommend not to waste you time and money with one of the X
implementations for the PC. Get yourself a copy of DESQVIEW/X - it turns
you PC into a useful machine. Not only will you have an X desktop 
(with a choice of OpenLook or MOtif window managers) you can also run
multiple DOS sessions in fixed or scalable windows, you can run Windows
as well. Naturally, being a full X server, you can log onto the SUN
and run any X application. Not only that, you get real hardware based
multi-tasking and, as icing on the cake, a SUN user can open a local
window running a DOS application on the remote PC!

My wife has used DESQVIEW/X for about 6 months with great success on
a 33MHz 386 networked to my SUN and DECStation. With an universal programmer
attached to the PC, I can program PAL/PROMS directly from the SUN by
running a remote DOS session.

The only drawback is that you need LOTS of memory - 8MB minimum, 16MB
is better.

Subject: xvt equivalent to xterm -ls?

Hi-
  Is there an equivalent way to invoke a login shell, like xterm -ls,
when using xvt (the stripped down xterm written by John Bovey,
available at export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib)? We use Mac ][ci's with MacX
servers and the OLVWM3.3 window manager client. It works rather well,
except the xterm windows much too frequently go blank when switching
virtual screens and/or iconifying the windows. So there is a bug
*somewhere* (MacX1.1.7,OLVWM,xterm); rather than trying to track it
down, I've yet to find xvt1.0 show the same flaw in this environment.
I really don't need all the bells/whistles of xterm, but I do need a
way to open an xterm-like window initially from MacX that acts as a
login shell.  

Are there any simple/clean solutions? 

Thanks,
	Mark

P.S. Our installation has the X11R4 xterm distributed along with
     OpenWindows.

   There is actually wrong, at least for ctwm 2.1.  I have a nice
gif image which I load using xloadimage and ctwm never touches that.
There is a way to tell ctwm in your .ctwmrc to use a different bitmap
for each room, but that is under user control.
