This assumes, of course, that your implementation uses sockets for connections.

The path to XKeysymDB is compiled into the executable, but not from the
Motif library, from the X library.  The default path compiled into
mit/lib/X/XStrKeysym.c is /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB.  You can have your
applications look elsewhere by setting the XKEYSYMDB environment
variable.

A more likely cause of the warnings is that, although it can find the
file, it doesn't contain the osf keysyms.  These are part of the
VirtualBindings(3XM) mechanism Motif uses. They are usually appended to
the XKeysymDB by the Makefile in motif/lib/Xm (during installation).
You should send these entries along with your application to the new
site for them to append there.

Also don't forget to send them a .motifbind file appropriate to their X
server for them to put in their home directory.  You'll find these
files in the bindings directory of the Motif source tree.  They're
usually loaded by mwm onto a property on the server.  If your site
isn't using mwm, you'll need another utility to load the bindings.  I

Sorry to disagree here, but the Altos 886 and 986 I used to play with
wouldn't rung SCO binaries no matter what contortions you went through.  I
did have a copy of SCO's 8086 Xenix for a while, and it's binaries ran on
a 986 (sorta), but this is apparently a long dead product.

886 and 986 binaries on the other hand, had no trouble running on SCO.

The SCO 80286 (and only the 80286) binaries created in compatability mode
*did* run on Intel 320's and Cubix boxes for "Medium" and "Small" models.

The main problem is incompatabilites in /usr/include/sys/*.h files; in
particular, ioctl() parameters for device controls (like setting a terminal
in "raw" mode) and a number of librarie routines (like "getlogname()")
failed on the SCO-on-Altos but not on the Altos-on-SCO code.  In addition,
the SCO-on-Altos on worked on some models of Altos, like the 1086 and 2086,
and revisions of Altos Xenix in excess of 3.1c (where Altos fixed their
sbrk() system call).

SCO Xenix is a tight, fast system (especially compared to UNIX), but for
bode for distribution I always compiled on an Altos developement system
loaded on an SCO box... loading it is a trip, but ends up being worth
it.

There is a set of programs called Fonenet that implements what you ask with a couple of
programs called mike and speaker for SPARCStations.  I believe that the system that sound will
be played has to be running the speaker program as a server process. Then another computer can 
use "mike <machinename>" to redirect sound output to the computer named <machinename>. 

Compiling these two programs is quite trivial and usage is the same.

We routinely run the XV11R5 xdm with CHOOSER on our NCD xterminals.
On the Sun workstations we currently run xdm, but the station always offers
the login widget, not the chooser.  We would like to run some of our Suns
effectively as xterminals--so that they offer the chooser to the user.

It is not clear how to proceed to do this.  We can run the server standalone
without xdm and force another machine to offer a login widget.  We do not
know how to get a Sun to give an indirect query to its own xdm or to
some other machine's xdm in order to trigger the chooser in response.

Has anybody actually done this?  Can it be done with XV11R5?
Please email, I will summarize.

We've taken the one in the MIT contributed libraries and added a number of
significant enhancements (auto detect for screen size changes, SFE support)
and bug fixes.  We'd like to put these changes into a version that supports
cut and paste facilities and put it out somewhere on the Internet.

Any help would be appreciated.

This probably belongs in comp.windows.open-look.

Well, one way to get this to work is to just type "-visual TrueColor"
or "-depth 24" (or both) on the command line.  If you call xv_init()
with XV_INIT_ARGC_PTR_ARGV then this should work.  The other way is just
to specify XV_VISUAL and XV_DEPTH when you create the canvas.  All this
stuff is all in the manuals (XView 3).  If you're using XView 2, good
luck.  I've done it but I had to look at the Xview sources to figure
out how to get it to work.

X terminals that tapped into an HP 300 host.  Currently, I can bring data on the UNIX platform
to the MS-DOS platform via ftp and/or nfs.  My "impossible" plan is to find a 3.5 floppy drive
that I can hook to one of the X terminal, mount it so that it look like one of the disk, and 
save text data to it.  Is there such a hardware in the market ?  I would consider any 
alternative plan that is similar to this scheme.

As far as I know, you can't run Amiga X apps across TCP/IP on other

How about something that's just X (not Motif)?  You can try tgif, a
MacDraw-like freeware.  You can get it through anonymous ftp from
export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/tgif*.  Use the SetReduction() command
