I'm considering writing my own widgets, but I like to have some sample widget source code to look over first.  Where could I find something like this?  Are there any archives accessible by anonymous ftp that contain  such information?
Hello,    I am considering buying the Hummingbird X-Windows software for a MS-Windows 3.1 PC (386-40MHZ, NE2000 Ethernet board).  Would anyone tell me if they are using this package in a similar environment and if they are happy with it?  I will be connecting to Sun SparcStation 10 running Sun OS 4.1.3.  Thanks very much,

Where can I get documentation about the X-Server-Internals? BTW, I'm also interested in documentation about TIGA.  Any hints welcome.  Thanks, rainer.

Another company, Congruent Corporation of New York City, has also ported Xlib Xt and Motif 1.1 over to MS Windows NT, which provides full client development for X applications in an NT environment.  If you are porting InterViews over to MS Windows, I thought InterViews was a C++ toolkit with C++ classes. If that is so, how can it be built on Xlib, unless the classes are calling Xlib functions?

We are making a transition from NextStep to X-windows. I am trying to find the best GUI tool for our needs.  I have looked at several tools but they all seem basically the same (each salesman will beg to differ). I realize that there are differences but I don't have an infinate amount of time to discover what they are. The tools I have looked at so far are UIM/X, X-designer, Tele-Use, tcl/tk,Interviews, and SUIT.  So far I've drawn the following conclusions:  1) The builder for Interviews is not very mature, bad docs 2) Tele-Use is very expensive and uses a proprietary toolkit 3) UIM/X & X-designer seem about the same, even though X-designer does not have a interpreter (I'll by Centerline if I need one) 4) tcl/tk is a little buggy 5) I know very little about the ICS Builder (just have the sales info) 6) Due to a corporate agreement X-designer is much cheeper than any other comercial product. 7) For the time I'm spending I could have bought all of them (well different money) 8) We will have to live with any shortcomings and make it work 9) this type of tool seems great, but noone seems to talk about them on the net. Is there another news group for this ? 10) SUIT cost too much for comercial development.  I'm hoping someone out there has a strong opinion on at least one of these products.  thanks
I'd like to compile X11r5 on a Sony NWS-1750 running NEWS 4.1c.  The X distribution has support for this config, and the release notes say it has been tested on the machine.  BUT, also in the release notes, nothing from Sony is listed under the supported servers.  What am I supposed to use for my r5 X server then?  How can the OS be supported, but not the hardware? Is there something in the r4 binaries that can be used as the r5 server? These may seem like silly questions, but I'm *really* confused. --  mike@hopper.acs.virginia.edu

What I want to be able to do is to set the cursor color to the same as the forground color that is set for that xterm.  From the man page.....  -cr color  This option specifies the color to use for text cur-  sor.   The  default  is  to  use the same foreground  <---  color that is used for text.  <---  However this doesnt seem to be the case, it appears to default to black or to whatever XTerm*cursorColor is set to.

Standard colormaps were spec'd with the intention that window managers would make them available. This doesn't mean that every window manager author in the world immediately dropped everything they were doing and implemented this at top priority.  The ESGE server we ship makes the XA_RGB_BEST_MAP available at startup.

Since standard colormaps typically devour all 256 entries, there is no way it can avoid displacing the entire default colormap if your hardware has only one CLUT.  I don't believe standard colormaps are intended to aboid possible colormap flashing between clients using the default coilormap. Rather, colormap flashing will be avoided between two clients that use the same standard colormap. An example would be two clients that need a full color range would both use XA_RGB_BEST_MAP (or whatever it's called under X11R5).  If you are trying to avoid colormap flashing with the default colormap, your best bet is to try to load all the colors you use into that colormap. If you can't do that, then you'll get flashing on a one hw CLUT framebuffer.  Now if your window manager used the same standard colormap as your client, this flashing could also be avoided. Perhaps some window managers have command line options for selecting standard colormaps? --

Otherwise, they would probably have gone for a commercial Unix.   An important factor in the Linux community is that source code is always   available (this is probably similar in the 386BSD community, however, I'm not   really involved there). Many people using Linux like to stay at the cutting   (bleeding) edge: ie. when kernel patches, C library or compiler patches come   out, people like to rebuild their entire systems. The prime requirement for   all Linux software is that it is available under a GNU style public license.   Hence, Linux software uses either the Athena widgets or XView.   Individuals may write software requiring Motif, but I doubt it is widely   adopted.  				Regards,
Hello,  does somebody know the functions  XtShellStrings and XtStrings? I haven't found them in any librarys not Xm, Xt, nor X11, and I need them to install a tool.  Any hints greatly appreciated!

I have written a server program which makes socket connections to many nodes and collects data from that nodes periodically. I need to display this data on my X Application. I tried to invoke this server using XtAddAppTimeout which works ok. But the problem here is some time there is delay in collecting data. So I doesn't returns to EventLoop during that time and my application remains busy and It doesn't respond to users input. I button press events are queued and exected after server finished its task. Now I am going to try AppAddInput call. So that It reads pipe only when there is something to read in pipe.  I am thinking of creating one pipe in which server will write and client which is my X application will read. Now I have some doubts which you may be able to clarify.  1) When I fork a process. It will create to copy of my process. Right !!    Now what does this two copies mean? Two Shells. Where should I fork    my application. What are the responsibilities of this processes. How    should I call this processes.?  2) Can I fork more than one processes. So that I can read from more    than one servers input.

Hi, there,     I'm trying to build X11R5 mit core distribution on a SparcStation running SunOS 4.1.1. The only thing I change is the ProjectRoot in site.def.

w/o actually executing it? somehow one of my xterminal users has made it so that a click of MB3 (right) automatically kills all clients - oh my :-(  		thanx, 			fish
Yet again,  the escape sequences you are speaking about here are non standard and dangerous. In fact, an ANSI compliant sequence parser HANGS on them.  Why are there such strange ESC sequences instead of compatible DSC ?

Luckily the guy stops a foot behind my rear wheel. >I understand why you theoretically stop so far behind a car but can you >really in actuality avoid such an incident?  Suggestions?  The experience you describe is why I don't like to sit with my bike in gear - I figure there's a chance that I'll be startled in some way and stall my bike.  And I figure this is more likely than the chance that I'll be unable to escape some situation because of the extra time needed to put the bike in gear.  So I concentrate on avoiding situations rather than making split-second evasive manuvers.  I split lanes so I'm not at the end of the line. (Unfortunately this is not legal in most of the country)  If I can't split (perhaps there isn't room) then I will stop near one side of the lane so I have an easy escape, and leave my bike in gear until the next car has stopped.  I watch in my mirrors in the mean time to make sure it will!  Whether I really would have time to move should a car fail to stop, I haven't had to find out yet.  Some cars have an annoying habbit of racing up behind you before braking heavilly, so it can be hard to tell if they are planning to brake or not!  So in summary, position yourself for an easy exit, and then watch your mirrors until it's all clear.
In article 3tu@menudo.uh.edu, inde7wv@Rosie.UH.EDU () writes: > >I understand why you theoretically stop so far behind a car but can you >really in actuality avoid such an incident?  Suggestions?  An even better strategy is to leave less of a buffer between you and the car in front, but enough to manuver around it.  Keep the bike in 1st gear with the clutch handle squeezed in (how's that for engaged/disengaged?), until there are two cars stopped behind you.  When the next BDI cager comes screaching in, simply ride up along side of the car in front of you.  You don't need to panic and do it, or you will pop the clutch and stall the engine.  Do is smoothly, just rapidly.  The cage in front of you will provide MUCH better protection than anything else (particularly empty road).
