My experience is that cmdtool completion is ugly but it does work. The command
line is not properly redrawn, but a ^R will clean things up. In the following,
the typed characters were "echo hv<ESC>^R<RET>", the longest unambiguous match
was "hvmail", and this was echoed:

wy-reb 106% echo hvmailecho hvmail
echo hvmail
hvmail

Is this cosmetic effect what the man page refers to in its bug section?  It
this the problem everyone is complaining about?

I'd like to be able to access CM from several different Sparc2s
within the same local network, but each machine treats the userid
with the hostname (e.g., CM sees "name@mach1" or "name@mach2", not just "name").

Is there anyway to access CM identically from each machine? Otherwise,
I get a different calendar from each machine I use.

Thanks,

I'm running mailtool V3 on a Sparcstation 1 under SunOS 4.1.1.

Within mailtool, I can use Edit->Properties to create new mail
aliases and/or edit existing mail aliases.  However, I haven't

Any suggestions?

The problem is that the textsw window will not wait for the return from
any spawned program for longer than ~ 10 seconds. After that time the
highlighted text becomes un-hilighted and the pipe is broken.  The
problem therefore is not getting the text out but getting the corrected
text back in automatically.  The documented X resource for changing
this time does not work.

When running various Sun xview (3.0) apps such as mailtool, cm, et al, on an
NCD x terminal running the built-in window manager (Motif-ish), how does one
implement the copy/paste mechanism when the keyboard doesn't even have
copy/paste keys.  I tried running xev under xnews to see what these keys were
doing, but xev didn't seem to see them.

Also, cm on the NCD doesn't seem to work right.  Reminders never pop up, and
some of the buttons on the event editor overlap.  This is with window.scale;
small.

Should I just give in and run olwm or olvwm remotely?

I'm not sure how you can tell if it works for 'clock' but when I brought up
the properties window, everything seemed to be in font specified in my
.Xdefaults file... (If you're talking about the actual *display* of the

On each client cm the user simply sets their default calendar to be
my_name@server, and then browses,edits that. But note that you can only set
your default calendar in OW3. Doing this does not need any login access to
the server.

On each client you must NOT run install_cm which adds an entry into your
inetd.conf file for the rpc.cmsd process. Only run install_cm on the
calendar server.

Hope this helps.

   A quick glance at the source code would have told you that the direction
   depends on the setting of PANEL_LAYOUT.
 

correct, taking note that PANEL_LAYOUT applies to both
Panel_item's and Panel's.  in this case *all* of the button
menu-mark's go in accordance with the PANEL_LAYOUT setting
on the Panel (i.e. they are not set individually).

so, xv_set(panel, PANEL_LAYOUT, PANEL_VERTICAL, NULL) will
cause all of "panel"'s menu-marks to face right rather than
down.

A member of the staff here is getting some *very* strange results

The next call he makes to xv_set() dies with a SIGSEGV no matter
what object the call is accessing.

I've been answering questions about XView for quite a while, so I

I have been using olvwm for about one month now and started with patchlevel
2.  I recently compiled patchlevel 3 and updated my machine.  Whenever I try

3, my olvwm process exits and my xnews server dies, dropping me out to a console.
Has anyone seen this particular problem and found a fix ??

When I compiled olvwm, a definition for MENU_NEWSLOT was not found, so I created
'#define MENU_NEWSLOT 1' in menu.h.  Was I missing something here ??

The way we use cm here across the network is to have the rpc.cmsd process
running on one server (does not need to run on clients) and then always
accessing user@server for cm data. When a user starts up cm for the first
time it runs a script of mine to create permissions that allow user at any
host to create, delete appointments etc.

This is quite simple to set up as long as you have a reliable server of
some sort. We also mount /var/spool/calendar on each client so that the
script will work and so users can delete useless calendar files if
neccesary. 

You could also set up cm as Chris says above with x processes displaying to
each client. This is easier to setup but we didnt do that because we dont
allow students to login to our server (unpredicatable cpu load on server).

PS Under our setup the "For my eyes only" facility doesnt work yet.

Also you might find it useful to read SunExpert magazine (Oct/nov? I think)
which has an article on setting up the calendar manager for network use and
for other resources.

To deal with the timeout, I added a "Swap" menu entry into my 
.text_extras_menu that looks like this:

"Swap"            cat /tmp/X_filter_file
"Ispell"          filter ispell

And the filter script looks like:

TEMP=/tmp/X_filter_file
export TEMP
cat > $TEMP
shelltool $* $TEMP
cat $TEMP

This way, if I am not fast enough and the selected region times out, I
can just reselect the region and choose "Swap" from my menu.  OK, so
it's a hack... so what, it works!
