Subject: xterm key translations being ignored?
Organization: Landmark/ITA Inverse Theory and Applications
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 1992 22:57:34 GMT


  Why does OpenWindows 3.0 seem to ignore the following key translations?
 We are using mwm as a window manager.

xterm*VT100.Translations: #override \
	<Key>KP_1:	  string("^[[KP1~") \n\               *
	<Key>KP_2:	  string("^[[KP2~") \n\               ^[[OB

	<Key>F12:	  string("^[[F12~")                   *

  The end column shows what is actually being sent.
   * means NOTHING is being sent
   a string shows the strings that is being sent
   and a blank means the key sends what the table told it to send.

  What gives here? are we doing something wrong? are we missing something?

Organization: MacDonald Dettwiler, 13800 Commerce Parkway, Richmond, BC, Canada  V6V 2J3


We've recently purchased a bunch of DEC VXT2000 X-terminals along with
a font/Info Server.  I'm in the process of trying to make OpenWindows
applications run reliably on it and am having some trouble with fonts.
Digital supplies a software kit and has instructions on converting from
Sun's fonts to *.pcf format.  Unfortunately, the conversion is full of
problems and I suspect the generated fonts are unreliable.  I haven't
been able to confirm this since I can't get a mkfontdir (even the
DEC-supplied one) to build a fonts.dir so that the Info Server can
create a new font set.  What I'm looking for is anyone who may have been
successful in converting OpenLook 2.0 and/or 3.0 fonts to PCF format and
then loading the font set into the Info Server.  Please respond by email
as I don't follow this group as often as I should.

Thanks,
Doug

>Why is pageview so rubbish for multipage documents?  Is there a cure?

Perhaps more accurately, "Why are some multipage documents so rubbish for
`pageview'?" (-:

The OpenWindows 2.0 and 3.0 "pageview" wants documents to follow the accepted
PostScript Language Structuring Conventions, i.e. be a good PostScript
citizen.  This means things like "%%Page:" and "%%Trailer" and "%%Pages:"
comments in the text, so it can find where each page ends and where the next
page begins.

Unfortunately, there's a lot of "PostScript" documents out there that don't
follow the rules - they're non-conforming.  In particular, non-recent TeX
DVI -> PostScript converters produced PostScript files without even a hint
of "%%Page:" comments and the like.

If you're intrepid, and can figure out where the page breaks are, you can
insert your own "%%Page:" comments and "pageview" will be happy to render
your multi-page documents.

But hope is on the horizon:

Note that the "pageview" in OpenWindows 3.0.1 addresses this problem in a
"brute force" way; it provides (in the "Properties" sheet) a button you can
click on which is called "Ignore PostScript Structuring Comments".  If you
run into one of these rogue PostScript files, you can bring up the Properties
sheet, check off said box, press the "Apply" button, and "pageview" will
re-render the document (albeit slowly/slower), hopefully correctly.  What it
does if you click that box is to redefine "showpage" within itself, so that it
can brute-force interpret the PostScript without regard for the "%%Page:"
comments.  This method is more accurate but is more compute-intensive, thus
it takes a bit longer to re-render if you use this option.  But (speaking from
vast experience) it's well worth it!

The OpenWindows 3.0.1 "pageview" is now playing on a Solaris 2.0 machine near
you ...

When in scrolling mode, the cmdtool behaves more like textedit than
shelltool.  You can define function key filters for textedit and cmdtool
using a .textswrc file (see the textedit(1) man page and the example
file /usr/lib/textswrc).

You can define simple key macros like:

F2	FILTER
echo "this is a macro"

Here is what I have in my .textswrc file:

# .textswrc
# see also: ~/.text_extras_menu, /usr/lib/.textswrc, /usr/lib/.text_extras_menu

F1	FILTER
echo "\

After the last mail was deleted from the mailbox,

the icon showed the no_new_mail icon instead
of empty_tray icon.
( at this time, /usr/spool/mail/my_mail is 0-length )

So I opened the mailtool again, obviously no mail in it, 
closed the mailtool, and then the empty_icon was shown.

The error I get is something like "can't connect to server".
Non-OW apps work fine (Xlib/Xt based applications) so it doesn't
seem to be an xhost/DISPLAY problem.

Is the solution to get the IBM OS upgraded? (Assuming an upgrade
exists!)

Any info much appreciated.

You probably have a cron job that is deleting old files in /tmp at night.
The connection to the "" server is via a Unix domain socket that lives in
/tmp.  The cron job is deleting this, so new clients can no longer open it.

Fix the cron job to skip sockets.

Ah, yes. The old "rip off the Ada users" problem again. Do these guys think
nobody but deep-pockets defense companies could POSSIBLY be interested in
Ada development? At least the compiler vendors can fall back on the (now
lame) excuse that validation is expensive. How do these guys justify it?

Here we go again...

Hi,

We're developing some XView 3.0 applications for use on Suns running
OpenWindows 3.0 (Sun xnews server) and also on DECstations running mwm
(standard DEC X11R4 server).

The problem is: some applications have 'large' buttons (i.e. a bitmap
image on a button) and they work just fine on the xnews server
(OpenWindows 2.0/3.0)

But, when we recompile using our converted 'XView 3.0 for DECstations'
the bottom 6-8 pixels of each button are cut off (i.e. it's a
bottom-less button).  This makes the interface look a bit odd?!?! :-)

Possibilities tried and failed:

1)	"It's that crazy DEC server!"

	Nope, tried it on the Sun with a 'standard-issue' MIT R4 server
	and it still acted 'funny'.

2)	"It's a bug in X11R4!"

	Nope, recompiled and ran it on the Sun with a 'standard-issue'
	MIT R5 server and it still acted 'funny'.

3)	"It's a problem with the DevGuide generated code!"

	Nope, wrote some sample XView code by hand, and the symptoms
	were the same as the above.  Oops, didn't mention that we were
	using DevGuide 3.0 also.  :-|

In conclusion, it seems that bitmap buttons are only correctly
supported under Suns xnews server (based on X11R4).

Is this a bug in the XView 3.0 toolkit?

Has anyone seen this before and gotten it to work?

Any pointers will be gratefully accepted.
