Hi,
I have a funny problem while building X11R5 on a SUN SPARC station.
I downloaded the stuff from export.lcs.mit.edu (R5untarred version)
and trying to build with:
make World BOOTSTRAPCFLAGS = DNOSTDHDRS > & world.log

I'm getting the following error:
sh: ./bitmaps bad directory 

Any clues ?

    I have just begun ( 2 weeks  ago ) writing the very thing. I too was
unable to find such a utility, so set about filling the VOID myself. It is
to be a Hex Viewer/Editor with a difference.

    Alas it remains in pre-BETA stages, as i have begun my 2nd Semester,2nd
year in Electrical ( Computer ) Engineering, and as such cannot devote it my 
undivided attention. (approx 3 hours /week)

    It will encompass many functions, least of which will be the GUI interactive
Byte/Byte editing, string searching and replacing etc. The intial platform
will be Sun's XView using OpenLOOK ( I have unlimited acces to SPARCS ), but i
have since begun porting the initial stages to DECstations as well (OSF/Motif).

    Eventually it will comply to ICCCM and the modifications for each GUI will
be neatly compiled into the SKELETON source.

    The Main FEATURE is the inclusion of a simple SCRIPT langauge interfaced to
the program. The SCRIPT's will serve as a modification procedure for a file on 
a BYTE level! Such routines as changing headers, revamping the file for picture
format conversions, editing out newline characters etc can be written in SCRIPT
and stored in database fashion to be called later. Headers can be 'learned' 
such as those of "BRAIN FILES" for virus checkers.
    The result is a "ONE STOP" converting program which can be universal and
grow with the additions of more SCRIPTS.

If someone feels this is a reasonably good idea and decides to write a utility
along these lines, i would very much like to be involved in the development.
Time may be on there side.

Eric: I do in fact have a HEX viewer i wrote myself, which works very much like
the UNIX 'more' command. Email me and i shall send it to you!

P.S
I am looking for VOCATIONAL ( WORK EXPERIENCE ) in the Compter(Engineering)
field during December 1992-February 1993 (3 - 6 weeks), or 3 weeks in June 
1993. (Preferably in the United States ).

I am looking for a (preferably PD) implementation of a widget to draw Posets
(Partially Ordered Sets). Superficially what is needed is a Tree widget, such
as the one in Douglas Young's book 'X Window Systems Programming and
Applications' but with the added capability of being able to have multiple
super-nodes. The real problem is stopping a large graph looking totally messy.

Can anyone help?

Please reply by e-mail, thanks in advance...

When I make all in mit/fonts/lib/fonts/Type1, I get the following

cc/gcc give the same error, gcc with slightly more context.  The code

I can't figure out where the FontPtr type is defined, and can't find
any references to get_bitmaps or get_extents.  What's going on?  As of
X11R5p12, I had no problems.

What do you do when you need to establish input focus in another application
or another toplevel window in the same application. Motif keyboard traversals
don't help you there.

Gcc knows about a number of functions builtin type (exit and abort
among them).  I suspect that GCC and stdlib.h disagree about the
types.  You can use the -fno-builtin switch to disable all builtins
(note you need to use at least 2.2.2, since the behavior of
-fno-builtin in previous releases did not affect exit and abort).  You
might also want to complain on the gcc bug mailing lists.

I've uploaded a very preliminary interface to World Wide Web using the
tk toolkit to export.lcs.mit.edu and the tcl archive in
barkley.berkeley.edu.

tkWWW Version 0.1 alpha (joe@athena.mit.edu)
--------------------------------------------

This a first pass at a browser for World Wide Web using the tk
library.  It is very buggy.  Use at your own risk.

The Tk browser has the following advantages.

1. Since the entire user interface is written in an interpreted 
   language, it should be very easy to make modifications and extensions
   to the system.

2. More important, it is possible to imbed Tk code into hypertext
   documents.  To see an example of this, load in the hypertext file
   file:$pwd/Tcl/text2.html


INSTALLATION
------------
In order to install tkWWW you will need

   The code for the WWW line-mode browser. (anon ftp from info.cern.ch)
   Libraries for tk and tcl (I'm using tk2.1 and tcl6.3)

   A wish intepreter which contains the Hyper and XYGraph widgets

To install this program, unpack the WWW line-mode browser source and 
cd to the directory WWW.  Unpack this tar file.

You could try something like this.

	XUnmapWindow(display, (Window) atoi(getenv("WINDOWID")));
	XSync(display, 0);

I am building an application in which a motif arrow button causes a list to
be mapped (the list contains available entries for a text field).  I wish to
make the list behave like a motif pulldown menu, ie when it is mapped it should
grab all events from all applications.

I have tried to use XtGrabPointer, called from the activate call back of the 
arrow button to implement this global grab.  I have found that I can
only get the grab to work for the arrow button (presumably because it is in
focus) and not the list.  If I pass the widget of the list to XtGrabPointer
it returns GrabNotViewAble.  

I have also tried to call the grab from the map call back of the list, the 
result is the same.

I have a work around which is to call XtGrabPointer for the arrow button with 
owner_events true, followed by a call to XtAddGrab for the list.  The first 
call grabs events for the application, the second for the widget.  Although 
this works it cannot be the best solution - can it ?

I would be grateful if any one could throw any light on to this problem, or 
point out a better approach as I am completely stumped.

Thanks in advance

When a program starts it is given it's own stack space and it's own heap space.
Memory is allocated in the heap space. When the program exits, the stack space
and the heap space are passed back into the OS's hands. You do not leak
memory this way. This is even true for MSDOS, since you only ever have one
main program, and all TSRs should be well behaved and not grab memory and 
leave it lying around. For UNIX and VMS you'll be OK. If you access memory
outside the stack or heap or BSS space then you'll get a segmentation fault or
access violation and you program will enter it's signal handler and probably
die (ie: You'll know about it!)

The answer for MSDOS and GEMDOS/TOS (Atari ST) can be more complicated, since
the program effectively
has access to the whole memory of the computer, but can actually tell the
OS that it only wants some of the memory, and gives it back to the OS. The
program can then ask for more if it need more later (by doing a DOS level
call rather than a malloc etc). What happens if the program does this and then
exits I don't know (ie Is that last DOS level call freed? I don't think it is..
I think you'd have to explicitly do another DOS level call). Anyway you don't
use MSDOS or GEMDOS/TOS anyway do you?

On MSDOS if you access memory outside the heap/stack/bss areas then chances are
you'll clobber one of the expansion cards or low memory and overwrite the
CMOS RAM that configures the computer (yes I've done this too, with a rogue
mouse driver program) and most likely hang the computer (RESET time)


OK, thats enough, not exactly X WINDOWS is it?

I have a server which allows both 8 and 24 bit deep visuals on the same screen.
Given that I have started the server with a default 8 bit PseudoColor visual
root window, the question is, how do I start a standard X client (e.g. xterm)
which uses, say, a 24 bit TrueColor visual?

The visual and the depth can be specified as resources but it seems that Xt
provides no means for specifying colormap resources, other than from within
the source code itself (there's no string to colormap converter for instance).
So for a given widget we inherit the colormap from the parent, but of course
CreateWindow fails since the parent colormap and the visual are
incompatible. Is Xt lacking or have I missed something? Are there any widget
sets which provide such a capability?

I guess the next question is, what would a colormap resource look like:
Colormap id, resource name of standard colormap? And who creates it in the
first place, xstdcmap, the server?

Replies directly to me if possible.

You will have to argue your window manager into giving keyboard focus
to the xcalc window.  This may or may not be easy; I don't know enough
about twm to be sure, though I think it is possible to change keyboard
focus with keystrokes.  In any case, the window manager is the place
you will have to look.

I'm attempting to build X11 R5 on a HP 9000/360 under HP-UX 8.0.  I was
wondering if anybody has done this before, since MIT only tested it on
versions up to 7.0.

Thanks
