When I try to compile and link the tvtwm on the R5contrib
distribution I get a bunch of Xt unresolved references.
We are running X11R5 patched with fixtrackers up to
about 2 months ago.

When I give it TOOLLIB in the Imakefile and rebuild I
still get an __XtInherit undefined.
Anyone have any clues?

There is no good simple way.  The only decently portable way is to
check periodically.  (This can be done by doing minimal event handling
inside your drawing loop, or doing the drawing a small piece at a time,
called from the main loop when nothing else is pending.)  Of course,
you have a tradeoff to make: how often do you check?  The tradeoff is
the amout of slowdown introduced by constant checks versus slow
response to user action.  What I would be tempted to do is check every
N times around your drawing loop, where N is a variable that starts at
1 and floats up and down, so that you check every .1 or .05 second or
however often works well.  (That is, every time you check, see how long
it's been since the last check, and increase or decrease N
accordingly.)

Hi I am relatively new to the net. I am working on NCD15b display station
connected to a SUN workstation running SunOS 4.1 ( I think ). I want to
know how to use my own icons for specific appls. rather than the default
settings. I would appreciate it very much if someone would help me in this
affair. ( the window manager I use is the ncdwm ) I am very interested in
programming X clients myself and would like it if someone would send me
a copy of a simple source program which raises a new window and draws a
line into it as I am a firm believer in learning by doing.

The problem is obvious you're using XVIEW which is a piece of
garbage!!!  If you check the Xlib manuals you will find a simple
and elegant way to accomplish your task...

No, Xos.h is only used in R4.  In R5, Xosdefs.h is used, and here's
how it handles things (as you see, it will act properly for a SVR4
system -- at least my Solaris one):

#include <X11/Xosdefs.h>

#ifdef SYSV

This may be the wrong place to ask, but my boss has once again asked

14.4K bps modems. Also he's on the ethernet with our sun IPC (running
sunOS 4.1.1, openwindows 2). He's going to buy X terminal software for
his PC. He's looked at the Deskview one and the MS Windows one. He
doesn't use MS Windows and doesn't really want to, but he'll learn it
if he has to. Does anyone have any comments on these two, or any other
X terminal software?

Also, with our real spiffy 14.4K bps modems, would running an X
terminal over a modem be prohibitively slow? Anyone ever try that?

Hello for my first foray into the wonderful world of X-Windows I am
converting a simple application originally written in Sunview. After
running the application thru the cv2xview script and cleaning up 
the results, etc., I am left with a couple of unresolved external
references:

   pr_load
   pr_load_header
   pr_load_std_image

These functions support loading Sun raster files into a pixrect.

Been hunting thru all my X documentation and about the only thing
I can find is XReadBitmapFile which loads an X10/X11 bitmap file
into a Pixmap, which leaves two problems converting the Pixmap to 
a pixrect and converting the rasterfiles to bitmaps.

Can anyone enlighten me?

I once was visiting a friend and used a Macintosh running MacX over
SLIP over a such a modem.  It was usable.  Not excellent, not even
after making allowances for the machine and X server.  But not
hopeless, unless you're doing something involving lots of images.
Certainly worth trying.

I would like to allow a user to press, say button 3, during a raster draw
routine to halt the process if he so chooses.  I'm assuming I have to do
some basic things like selecting for button presses, check the event queue,
etc.

Naturally, I don't want the speed of the drawing process hindered too much.

So far there is nothing other than DVX available for DOS that will 

1)	run local X clients (Hummingbird is working on it but I think
	it's still in alpha)

2)	Run DOS programs, and Windows programs and display them on any
	X server.

3)	Provide a full X11R4 development environment under DOS.

4)	Other stuff I can't remember right now, but I'd miss if I didn't
	have it.

No problem, I don't think its a bug. Its designed in. To quote from O'Reilly
Volume Two, page 189 on XFillRectangles....

"There is a limit to the number of rectangles that can be filled in a single
call, that varies according to the server. To determine how many rectangles you 
can fill in a single call, you find out your server's maximum request size
using XMaxRequestSize. Subtract 3 and divide by 2, and this is the maximum
number of rectangles you can fill in a single call to XFillRectangles."

Note that all of the rectangles will look the same: same colour etc.
The smallest allowed request size is 4096 * 4 bytes, so you will be able to
blat at least 16384 - 3 / 2 rectangles = 16381 / 2 = 8190 rectangles at a time
at the worst.

Date: Wed, 16 Dec 1992 20:55:21 GMT

When trying to compile Xgopher (and probably other X clients) on an
Ultrix platform, the Imakefile generates a Makefile which points to an
incorrect and obsolete directory for the inclusion of X11 header
files. In order to get things to compile, I need to change my Makefile
as follows, from:

    INCROOT = $(DESTDIR)/usr/include
to:
    INCROOT = $(DESTDIR)/usr/include/mit

On this Ultrix system, proper include files live in
/usr/include/mit/X11 instead of the usual /usr/include/X11.

Can some Imake wizard point me to what I should change in the Imake
configuration files? I assume I should override definitions in
Imake.tmpl with a new definition in ultrix.cf or site.def, but I
really don't have a handle on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, I am learning C++ and XView prgramming. I have a very simple program
as listed below, which is modified from "quit.c" in xview examples. But it
does not work.

The problem is that when the callback function quit() is invoked, the "frame" 
declared in object "main_window" has a wrong address in quit(), thus this
program never quit!  A test() function is added where frame has the right
address. The is on SUN SPARC with C++ 2.1 (SC 1.0) compiler. Anyone who can 
help or give general comments on C++ XView programming is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.


The following is the output when "main" is running:

72 %main
main: FRAME = 0, -134219148		<- output before frame is created
addr: 154256				<- output after  frame is created
main: frame = 154256, -134219148	<- output from a test function
quit 1: 0, 172988			<- output from the callback function
quit 2: 0, 172988
quit 1: 0, 172988
quit 2: 0, 172988
.....



The following is the porgram, just a short one

}

Is it possible to configure XDM X11R5 so that it uses the chooser
on the console screen of the machine running xdm. In the past I have
just used an Xserver entry to control the console but now I want to be
able to choose between the localhost workstation and another one to control
the console. I need explicit entries for Xaccess and Xserver as my guesses
haven't worked.

I'd like to be able to add a menu item to the xterm TEK window menu
that will send the plot commands through a postscript filter and then
to the printer in a fashion similar to the COPY menu command in the
TEK window.  How can I do this?

Thanks,
