If you install the subsystem dev.sw.giftsbasic, you can look at the programs
mix.c and mix2.c in the directory: 

    /usr/people/4Dgifts/examples/GLX/gl-Xlib

The program mix.c opens a top-level X window, and then creates four GL 
windows as children of the X window.  The program mix2.c opens a top-level
X window, and then creates six GL windows as children of the X window.

Some of what you are asking about is covered in the Window Manager Programming
part of an SGI course called GL Programming 1.  When you attend that course,
you get the source code for many sample GL programs, including a program 
called multiwin.c, and you can ask questions about GL programming.

I like to use "sgi4d" for 32-bit R3000-based machines.  Analogous to "sun3"

I have been using /bin/cpp to obtain the architecture by deduction.  
Unfortunately, this is being broken of late by two things:

1) C compiler unbundling, and systems with no cc, or cpp

2) /bin/cpp is no longer operative on some systems, even when the compiler is
there, and cpp appears to be there.  Unfortunately, there is no guaranteed
replacement.

It is silly that there is no standard way to get an architecture string.

If ARCH becomes a standard environment variable, we still need a standard
for what the string returns.  I like names which have two pieces concatenated,
so that I can pick it apart again if necessary.  "sun" "3" or "4", "sgi" "4d",
"dec" "vax" or "mips" or "alpha? or perhaps (shorter=better) axp?" ...

Automount mounts everything in a directory when you do an ls in the
mount points directory, that is really annoying is there some way around
it?

ex:
 I mount indy:/usr/indy  on /usr/indy on animate  and when I do an ls in
/usr it mounts it, which means I have to wait for them all to mount.  We
mount about 14 machines so this takes a while.

Any suggestions?

	I have a PI 4D/20 with IRIX 3.3.2 running on it.
I currently have no support contract and an upgrade to
IRIX 4.0 will cost me over 2000 dollars which is nearing
what I paid for the machine itself. I won't be able to 
upgrade anytime soon but I'm having tremendous problems.
IRIX will crash on me up to 3 or 4 times a day, perhaps
it's not 3.3.2 but something I am doing, I'm not sure.
It can happen while a program is running or while nothing
is happening at all. Sometimes I get an actually KERNAL
PANIC or a MEMORY FAULT. Usually, 4sight simply freezes
up in some odd way and I have to punch reset button. I've
noticed actually that the machine seems to crash less when
I'm working on it. I maanaged to keep it up for almost nine
hours straight this weekend until I went off for a few
hours and it was dead. Is 3.3.2 known to be this buggy? 
Could I have a hardware problem? Any help is appreciated

I thought it was generally a bad idea to use root as the uid (though with
the -s flag it may not matter); the man page says to give tftpd the uid of
the least privileged user.  We also use /CDROM instead of /CDROM/dist, but
I don't know if it matters.

I don't think this matters -- cdinstmgr seems to mainly be a convenient
way of making sure the CD only gets ejected at appropriate times.  It is
not essential.

It seems to do it as user 'guest', not 'inst'.

I asked coupla days ago why my xarchie would not run on my PI.
Thanks to all the people who responded, I got the fix. It seems 
statistically that xarchie does not work running under anything 
below 4.0.5 because of the app-defaults file. It is only a small
problem of fonts. For people with 4.0.1 and below, the fix is to either run :

xarchie -font screen*15*

or change the font definition in the Xarchie.ad from fixed to
screen15 (or screen13, works too.)

Again thanks to all who responded.

As Dave Olson posted, 'uchar' stands for 'unsigned char.'

One C compiler (cc) option I find very useful is the option -P:

    "Run only the C macro preprocessor and put the result for each
    source file (by suffix convention, i.e., '.c' and '.s') in a
    corresponding `.i' file. The `.i' file has no `#' lines in it."

If you look at a .i file, you can see where things are defined, what was
included in your program, and how your code was preprocessed, i.e., you can 
see the preprocessed code that is used as input to a C compiler.

There are a couple of ways to do this.  

First and simplest, you could have the lpr script call something that
passes the job off to the lp spooler, and thus uses the gpsinterface
intact and unchanged.

Your printcap entry might look like this:

fake|fake printer:\
	:lp=/dev/null:of=/etc/lpr2lp:

And lpr2lp would be the following script:

--------
#!/bin/sh
#
# quick script to redirect the output of lpr to the default printer
# under the local lp spooler.
# 
# to change the destination of the lp, add -d<printername> to the end
#
# use this script with a printcap entry of the form:
#
# fake|fake printer:\
#	:lp=/dev/null:of=/etc/lpr2lp:
#
	
cat - | lp
----------

Second, you could use the printer driver (/usr/lib/print/gpscomm)
directly from your printcap entry.

Yeah, me too; but more sort-of in reverse.

Yes, we've read the caveats in the yaodl manual page about it being
unsupported and likely to go away at any time, but... we have a need
to take models out of a solid modeling package in a neutral format
(we've settled on DXF as being widely available) and to translate the
model data into yaodl, so that we can visualise it with powerflip.

What I really need is for people who use yaodl/powerflip to visualise
their data, or written any translators into/out of yaodl, or anything
like that, to get in touch so that we can share knowledge, tips and
tricks with each other.

Yes, the source to powerflip would be extraordinarily useful!  How
about it, SGI folks?  Please?  pretty please?

 Have you checked the power supply that connects to the button box?  There
is a dial type switch that specifies either 120 or 220 volts.  The power
supply seems to always come set to 220.  Good Luck.

The Disk and File tool assumes you bought your drive from SGI, in which case
it is already formatted, labelled, and mkfs'ed.  Oh, and it also assumes
you want to use the entire drive as a single partition.

The basic procedure is to use 'fx' to format and label the drive (the label
contains the partition layout), then use 'mkfs' to create the empty
filesystem, and then create the mounts points and put the proper entries
into /etc/fstab.

The info you are looking for is in the IRIX Site Administrator's Guide.
They are a two volume set that you have to order, but they are an absolute
necessity for anyone doing IRIX system administration.  Look in chapter 10
and chapter 6.

SGI uses the word "supported" to mean that they have tested and qualified
the drive to the point where they can sell it and it will work reliably.
It also means they have figured out what jumper settings should be used
and whether or not any firmware bugs had to be corrected.

We have several HP 1.6GB and Seagate 2GB drives on Power Series, Personal
Irises, and Indigos and have never had any trouble with them.

hmm trying to setup my apollo nfs for the first time. basically
all i want is for random.mit.edu to be able to mount / and //
on apollo.mit.edu. what should my exports contain. i have the same
UID's on both systems. also, with just 
/
//
in exports it lets me mount from anywhere and access my files.
with 
/ random
// random
or 
/ random.mit.edu
// random.mit.edu
it does work. i also tried thses with -access=random[.mit.edu] and no luck.
is there something else i need to setup. mind you, it works with just /,//
but that isnt to secure :^)
