The multi-lingual archives at The Computing Research Labs, New Mexico State University will be moving to a new ftp address soon.  The archives are being put under control of the Consortium for Lexical Research.  The new ftp address will be: clr.nmsu.edu (the current IP address is 128.123.1.12 but may change, so use clr.nmsu.edu whenever possible).  Please note that there is a difference between ftp sites crl.nmsu.edu and clr.nmsu.edu.  The crl.nmsu.edu site will be our ftp site for items not related to the Consortium for Lexical Research.  The Arabic, Chinese, French, Italian, Indian, Japanese, Korean, Tibetan, and Vietnamese archives will all be moved.  We will announce the new locations of the relevant directories once the archives have been moved.  Please be patient if you discover directories missing when you ftp to either crl.nmsu.edu or clr.nmsu.edu.  It will take a few days to move everything.  If you are not familiar with our multi-lingual archives, we have been slowly collecting various software, fonts, and text for different languages over the past 2 years.  Most of the software is currently Unix oriented.  We would also like to encourage people to continue to contribute items to the archives to help improve the quality and quantity of multi-lingual tools.  If you have an item to contribute, please put it in:  clr.nmsu.edu:incoming/  and send a note to lexical@nmsu.edu telling them about your contribution.  If you have any questions or comments, please send them to: lexical@nmsu.edu
Hi everyone,  Does anyone know a good way to adjust colourmaps on the fly (say during an animation) and prevent the current set of colours from flickering?  Thanks,
Hi netlanders,  Does anybody know if there is something like Macintosh Hypercard for any UNIX  platform?   Thanks in advance
Is there an "official extension" to X which allows the use of audio? Most of the X audio programs use system-specific ways to access the audio capabilities of the computer they run on. Is there a hardware-independent way to do this (like the video extension XV)? Thanks for any help.
For those of you who couldn't find X-Appeal, it is availible at the following sitex:  	ascwide.ascii.co.jp in the /pub/MSDOS/xappeal dir 	wuarchive.wustl.edu in the /mirrors4/garbo.uwasa.fi/demo 	directory  	The three files are xap13exe.aip, xap10fon.zip and    drivers.zip.  Josh

HPGL does not support raster primitives, so a formatter would have to  punt on most popular image formats.  This probably explains the lack of translators out there.  What do you need to plot ?

It is true that the man page for pageview does not say that the files need to be DSC compliant.  That is the fault of the left hand not knowing what the right hand is doing at Sun.  I was informed by a Sun employee that the pageview program does require DSC compliant PostScript.  There was the possibility that it was going to be changed so that if the file wasn't DSC compliant that it would stop at each showpage.  I believe that this method would preclude being able to go backwards and forwards through the file, i.e., you could only go forward to the next showpage.  This isn't in OW3.0 pageview, but maybe it is in the Solaris 2.x version of OW (OW 3.1?).  In any event, I find pageview extremely useful.  Since all of the PostScript that I produce IS DSC compliant, I don't have any problems.

Issue 5 of the X Resource (the published proceedings of the 7th Annual X Technical Conference) has an paper by Mark Linton and Chuck Price titled "Building Distributed interfaces with Fresco".  The summary describes Fresco (formerly known as XC++) as an X consortium effort. Without doing a complete review of the paper, I'll just mention the goals as stated in one section of the article.  the effort has the goal of providing the next generation toolkit with functionality beyond the Xt toolkit or Xlib. Features they want in FRESCO include:  lightweight Objects, such as Interviews Glyphs Structured Graphics Resolution independence Natural C++ programming interface edit-in-place embedding distributed user interface components Multithreading  This by no means captures the complete content of the paper. The Conclusions sections mentions that a rough draft specification should be available in early 93, with no schedule (paper presented in Jan 93) for a complete sample implementation.  I am not affiliated with any of the people or places mentioned above.  --  Brian Dealy                |301-572-8267| It not knowing where it's at   dealy@kong.gsfc.nasa.gov   |            | that's important,it's knowing !uunet!dftsrv!kong!dealy   |            | where it's not at...

Hi there,  I'm looking for tools that can make X programming easy.  I would like to have a tool that will enable to create X motif GUI Interactivly. Currently I'm Working on a SGI with forms. A package that enables to create GUI with no coding at all  (but the callbacks).  Any help will be appreciated.
I'm an new to this.  Having found some files (public) to look into, I ftp'ed them to a system I have access to.  I then used kermit to transmit them via modem to my host computer, a PC-based file system.  I access internet through modem access to a university mainframe.  From the PC file server, I pull the files to a disk, and then pull them from disk to a SGI Indigo (the SGI is not networked yet).  When I try to uncompress and un-tar the files, they either come out as garbage or I get an error in the tar process about directories being invalid. What I'm wondering about is the transfer of UNIX files (compressed, binary,ascii) about multiple platforms.  My guess is that it is the copy to a 'dos' disk that is screwing things up.  Any help is appreciated. bob
Hi Netters, 	Having inherited a Solbourne (S-4000 : Sun 4 Compatible), I was wondering if somebody has ported X11R5 to this beast. Since Solbournce Computer Inc. folded up I don't know where I can get the kernel to move from R4. Since they never joined the MIT Consortium, the regular distribution doesn't work. Any pointers will be highly appreciated.  Julian
Not being an Xt programmer by any stretch of the imagination, this is driving me crazy and it's probably really simple to do.  I need to make a composite widget that does nothing at all but is merely a placeholder in a widget instance heirarchy -- allowing me an additional resource name level.  To illustrate I have an application with the following widget heirarchy:  	    Shell Widget 	         | 	Application Widghet  I want the following:  	    Shell Widget 	         | 	Intermediate Widget 	         | 	 Application Widget  where the intermediate widget has a name but gets all its other properties (and propagates down new values) from the shell widget.  I assume there's a simple way to do this but I can't find an example and the documentation I have is rather vague about implementing composite widgets.  Please respond via email.  Any help will be very much appreciated.

The coverage of modifiers is in Chapter 8 of Volume Four (or chap 7 in older Athena editions), where there is about  10 pages on how to specify translations to capture various combinations of keys or buttons.  The Xlib route uses XLookupString and there is a lot of coverage of how that works in Volume One,  chapter 9.  You should read this to understand how all the mappings work before trying to do anything complicated.
Hi!  I remember reading (or hallucinating) that NCD's PC-Xremote functionality had  been given, by NCD, to MIT for inclusion in X11R6.  Is this true?  If so, (set mode/cheap) can I just wait for X11R6 to get compressed serial line X server support?  Thanks!

If you start it with -indirect localhost, it use the loopback adress as it's adress. So when it try to contact another host, this one try to answer on its loopback adress. Not good.  Remember that every machine has the adress 127.0.0.1 on the loopback network.
Is there an Xt call to give me my application context? I am fixing up an X/Motif program, and am trying to use XtAppAddTimeOut, whose first argument is the app_context.  What call can I use to give me this value?   Thanks,     Todd Greene     masc0442@ucssun1.sdsu.edu
I am working on an X-Window based application that needs to  override some of the window manager focus processing.  I am  using X11R4 and Motif 1.1 currently, although I will also be  working with Open Look in the future.       What I need to do is under certain circumstances prevent the  user from switching from one window of the application to  another window.  Let's say, for example, that Window A is on top  of Window B in the window hierarchy.  Normally, if the user clicks  the mouse in Window B it will be brought to the top of the  window hierarchy and placed on top of Window A.  Under certain  circumstances if the user clicks the mouse in Window B I need to  beep and prevent Window B from being raised on top of Window  A.        From the research and testing I've done so far, it appears that  this window ordering is handled by the window manager, in this  case Motif.  I haven't found any way to override this default  processing through standard X Window functions.  I can tell  when this switching occurs through focus change and mapping  notify events, but I can't find any way to tell Motif not to make the  switch.        The temporary solution I've currently come up with is very  kludgy but it partially works.  When I detect such a window switch  in those cases when the switch is not allowed, I manually force  the formerly top window back on top with an XRaiseWindow call  and beep with the XBell function.  This provides the necessary  functionality but looks ugly when the windows switch places  twice.        Does anyone know how I can tell Motif (or preferably *any*  window manager) when I don't want the window order switch to  actually take place?  Respond either by e-mail or posting to this  newsgroup.  Cheers....     Randall

i want to do something like this:    date | xcb -s 0 | xcutsel  to get the output of the date command put into the XPRIMARY selection. unfortunately, xcutsel is an interactive little bugger and there isn't a command argument to tell it to just do it and not put up its little window.  so, is there some other command that i CAN use like this?  or, is there an analog to xcb that will put stuff in XPRIMARY instead of cut buffer 0?

[Please accept the following announcement for comp.windows.x.announce. -gf]  A completely revamped version of the X11 browser interface to Archie, Xarchie, is now available as 	export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/xarchie-2.0.tar.Z  For those not familar with Archie or Xarchie, I include part of the manpage intro:    Xarchie is an X11 browser interface to the Archie Internet information   system using the Prospero virtual filesystem protocol.  Archie   provides information about files available for ftp anywhere on the   Internet; Xarchie displays this information using an easy-to-use,   point-and-click interface.  Xarchie allows you to further explore ftp   sites by examining directories returned as query matches, and allows   you to retrieve files located this way.  Xarchie 2.0 has been extensively tested on R4, R5, and a variety of other flavors of X, and on a wide range of machines. A summary of the new features (from the README) follows:    * Major improvements include:     - Multiple selections allowed in browser for use with other new       features (FWF MultiList widget).     - Ability to expand directories in browser.     - Real fully-integrated ftp implementation.     - Ability to save and reload query results, as well as print them.     - Ability to resort results, and sort results by user-definable       pseudo-weights.     - Online help browser.     - Color resources, done so that they don't break mono displays.     - FWF FileSelector widget for local file operations.     - Makefile.dst's supplied for the imake-impaired.

In TeleUSE you can call any C++ method from a "D" module.  What you can do then is to use the "D" language for most of your interface code and then use C++ for you application code.
