That's weird. I've received a couple of letters to the mailing list 
during the last months. Are sure your mailsystem is set up properly?
If I read visual.com's MX record right, you want to be contacted
through relay[12].uu.net. If your outgoing mail takes the same
route, there should be no problem to get mail through to us.

Anyways, here's the status of emu.

	- It started out as a PCS project in '90 with Jordan
	  Hubbard, Tom Bagli and me working on it.

	- The project later was canceled and we were allowed
	  to give it out for free. We continued work in our
	  own time.

	- We put it on the R5 contrib tape but didn't have
	  support for very many machines ready that's why
	  we called it alpha.

	- Tom and Jordan left PCS last year but Jordan and
	  I are still working on emu although neither of
	  us can spend much time on it since we are highly
	  occupied by our normal work.

	- I want to get out a new release since summer last
	  year that mainly has support for more OS-dependant
	  pty implementations but haven't managed to do it
	  yet for lack of time and Jordan's hope to get the
	  SUN pty stuff to work properly under all circumstances.

As is, it works quite fine for SYSV or POSIX systems, I'm using 
emu every day as my default terminal emulator. With it's built
in "lean and mean" emu emulation it's even smaller than the
old xterm and I like the blinking text and cursor (ok, enough
advertising ;-)

So if anybody is REALLY interested in the new stuff and is willing
to spend some time with the code as is (we especially could need
help on the pty side for SUNs, since Jordan is quite frustrated
already and starts to doubt his programming skills ;-), I could
send out the code by mail. I don't want to put it on export,
however, until I've got it cleaned up better.

I have a user on using a NCR as an xclient and a Sun as an xserver.
If he does
	setenv DISPLAY sunhost:0
	xclock &
the clock comes up fine (access control on the Sun is not a problem).
However, if he then does
	anotherApp &
he gets
	Fatal Xt error: cannot open display.
or something like that.  So why would xclock be able to open the display
but not the other application?  It's had me stumped for the last two hours.

sorry if this is a repost at your site--I accidentally killed the post
here...

Over the past couple of months, I've seen postings in these groups
looking for X-windows software to do call-graphs, comment hiding,
file browsing, version control, etc...

Well, I've put just such a beast on export.lcs.mit.edu in the contrib
directory.  The relevant files are 
	apex.1.1.tar.Z
	apex.1.1.README

apeX includes an Object-Linking Editor, allowing text comments, audio
comments, movies, or just about anything to be "linked" to source code.
Another module allows you to follow the call tree of a program (both calls
to and calls from a function).  Yet another module interfaces to RCS...
Grab the README file (or read the manual :) for more information.

The bundle includes Sun Openwin3 binaries, so you shouldn't need to compile for that platform (it's written in XView and SlingShot, btw).

If you decide to try it, let me know what you think (even if you don't like
it).  If you really like it, well, I'm just about to graduate... :) :) :)

Enjoy!!

Hi All
  I'm trying to get my resource file via the XAPPLRESDIR environment variable and am not having much luck. Based on info in the OSF/Motif programmer's guide, I believe that I can use this var as follows
  "setenv XAPPLRESDIR = $APPLHOME/etc"
register my appl class as "XTimesheet"
  and then put my defaults file in...
  "$APPLHOME/etc/XTimesheet"
 and the user can override these defaults by putting THEIR preferences in
  "~/XTimesheet"
I can't get this to work (!!!%@$!%^@) (BTW -The LANG var is not set). Can anyone either explain or point me to the proper usage. I'm currently using $XENVIRONMENT to point to me defaults but that doesn't let the user override easily.
  Thanks

Hi folks,
I'm trying to create an application with 2 shells that will enable
the following 2 window manager functions:
1) bringing either window forward in front of the other one
2) iconifying BOTH windows

I'm fiddling with XtCreatePopupShell with class types of
transientShellWidgetClass and topLevelShellWidgetClass.
The transient satisfies requirement #2 but not #1.
The topLevel satisfies requirement #1 but not #2.

Anyone know of a way to get either of these types of shells to 
satisfy both #1 and #2?

Thanks a billion!
Any information would be helpful.


Thanks
Cindy

Hi Folks, 
  If you are using C++ and makedepend, I hope to spare you from
a potentially hideous experience with this posting.

  Makedepend, or at least our version that came
with X11R5 does not recognize C++ style comments.
Since we had a line of the form 

//***************************************************

as part of our standard header, makedepend gobbled up
the rest of the file in search for the terminating */.

The following patch will add the recognition of 
C++ style comments to makedepend.

If you would rather not change your makedepend, simply
make sure that you do not have any //* in your source.

Enjoy,
   Sieg

PS. Thanks to Todd Brunhoff the original author of makedepend for 
    this great utility program.

I am writing a single application context program with multiple displays
in hpux 8.0/Motif1.1 environment.

I seemed to have problems with XtCloseDisplay().

Scenerio:
	1. Created a display with XtOpenDisplay() and used XtAppCreateShell(),
	     XtCreatePopupShell() to create a toplevel widget as the parent
             for other windows in that display.
        2. Then, I remove the display with XtCloseDisplay().
	3. When I reopens the same display (step #1) and tried to create widgets,
	     I get the following warning:
   		"Warning: Try to change value of a registered window."
	     and then core dumps.

Temporary solution:
	- Instead of XtCloseDisplay(), I use XtDestroyWidget() on the toplevel widget.
	  Now, the program runs perfectly, I think.  Will there be any future problem
	  by not closing those displays with XtCloseDisplay()?

Main questions:
	1. Will there be any future problem by not closing the displays with
	     XtCloseDisplay()?
	1. Does XtCloseDisplay() destroys windows?  
	2. If it does, what's my mistake?

Repeatedly drawn xor dashed lines with shifting dash start points will
give you a distinct crawling edge, or a simple repeatedly drawn xor
line will give you a flickering edge. I've seen and used both in
manipulating high-noise photographic images without difficulty.  It
would really depend upon whether the eye's movement detectors or edge
detectors were more sensitive. I think the movement would be best.

We are trying to decide what strategy to use in porting our product 
to new platforms.  First let me describe our product :

- Developed on HP-UX.
- Two years old.
- Written in C++ with Motif.
- Uses HP's Allbase RDBMS.
- Uses the Tool Integration Platform architecture. (ie. Socket-based message
  passing.)
- Approximately 150,000 lines of code.
  Note : since this was our first large project with OO methods and C++
		 we think we can do things differently now.

We anticipate the need to port to Sun and IBM platforms and use other
database engines as well.

I have the following questions :

 1) Have you used a contractor who specialized in porting?  If so,
	what was your experience?

 2) How difficult is it to port to Sun, IBM from HP-UX?  
       - For a group only experienced with HP-UX.
       - For a group experienced with Sun and IBM.

 3) Is there a source/guideline document anywhere that could be used to
	help us through a porting effort?

 4) What is a rule of thumb in estimating a porting effort?  For example,
	a fraction of the original development time, an estimate based on
	how many lines of code, etc. 

 5) How critical is it that the person(s) doing the porting are actually
	familiar with the code?  If they are not familiar how much longer
	will it take them?

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi, Folks
    I'm trying to port LispView 1.1 to XView 3.0.  Most things seem to work OK
but the footers (which I understand are now toolkit objects rather than window
decorations) end up in the wrong place and aren't adjusted by window resizes.
Also, the bounding-region of the window is off by the height of the footer.  On
this last one I'm not sure if getting the bounding-region returns one that's
too big or setting it incorrectly adds in the footer height.  Anyone have any
ideas?
					Thanks for any help!

I am looking for creative ways to solve the following problem:

I have a bunch of strings (~1500) and I want to figure out what the
width of the widest string is exactly.  Things to consider:
	1) It can be for any font (especially var. width).
	2) I *don't* want just the maximum char width for that font
	   multiplied by the number of chars in the largest string.

Please e-mail any ideas (or post if you think it is of general interest).
Thanks.

Does anyone know of an X server being developed for Windows NT?  We are 
looking for a X/Motif development system that will allow us to build NT client
applications.
