Problem with dni and OW 3.0

Can anybody help me?
I am having a problem displaying images greater than 32768 bytes on a Sparc
IPC running Openwindows 3.0 and dni. My program runs on a Vax and displays
images on the IPC with no problems if I use Openwindows 2.0. The program uses
the following lines to display the image - it is the XPutImage routine
that crashes.
XImage *ximage;
ximage = XCreateImage(myDisplay, DefaultVisual,
ddepth, ZPixmap, 0, image,
xwid, ywid, 8, 0);
XPutImage;
The error I get is:-
XIO: fatal IO error 65535 on X server "galaxy::0.0"
after 30 requests with 0 events remaining.
%XLIB-F-IOERROR, xlib io error

Is there a PD widget that displays an 8-bit grey-level

BTW, the X11 tools come as sources. The sillyness of most vendors lets you

Anyway, have a look onto xgrab/xgrabsc. It does the IMHO best job for
this, including compression.

I *think* this is correct behavior. Remember the default
colormapFocusPolicy is keyboard . Since the dialog is modal, mwm won't allow keyboard
focus onto your main shell, and so it won't allow cmap focus either.
Since it sounds as though you have keyboardFocusPolicy:pointer, I
suggest you set colormapFocusPolicy:pointer also. That way, the cmap
focus won't slavishly follow keyboard focus, but will beat its own path.

1) This is NOT a feature of the Window Manager but of xterm.
2) This sequences are NOT ANSI compatible, are they ?
Does anyone know IF there are compatible sequences for this and what they
are ? I would think they are DCS introduced,
but may be a CSI sequence exists, too ?
This MUST work on a dxterm , it may not work

Running X on a PC at home talking to a host over Serial Line
Originator:
Nntp-Posting-Host: vaccine.netlabs.com
Organization: NetLabs, Inc.
Lines: 41
Some time back I asked for software recommendations to allow me to
run X from my PC at home to my Sparc at the office.
Many thanks for all replies, the majority of people recommended
PCXremote from NCD. I received it yesterday and installed it on
my Sparc and PC with only one hitch.
The UNIX install consists of copying 2 files into some local bin directory.
On the PC side, I ordered the WINDOWS version which came with a slick windows
installation.
The only problem I had was that my .xinitrc in my home directory
had the line
DISPLAY=`hostname`:0.0; export DISPLAY
s.t the clients I kicked off connected to my Xserver on the Sparc console.
By removing this line from the .xinitrc everything worked as planned
and the clients connected to the server at
`hostname`:1.0
Some comments on performance, I was connected to a Sparc 2 thru
a NetBlazer Terminal Server over a 9600 baud line.
My PC is a 486-DX2 ATI Ultra, 16 MB
Bitmap Stuff Sucked.
Basic Editing and compilation stuff definitely usable.
Xmail was very usable.
At times the first time U typed in an Xclient window there was
a very noticable delay, I put this down to brain damaged "WINDOWS
should not be called a SCHEDULER", besides that this will become
my remote work environment for a while.
Has anybody tried the NON Windows version of the product, the sales
person said they performed about the same, given the over head of
WINDOWS I question this?
many thanks for help to all who responded

Another way would be to use GetGeometry to find out where

Hmmm.... Clearly? Depends on your programming model. It is not at all
forbidden to draw outside the context of an expose event. Certainly any
internal data structures should be maintained such that the visual
appearance would be maintained properly whenever an expose event happens
to be generated. This doesn't preclude drawing immediately after
updating the datastructures though...

I have the same problem. I have looked at Motif++, WWL, InterViews, GINA++,
and a few variations on the above. I've also done a cursory examination
of Rogue Wave's View.h++. I like View.h++'s abstractions best of all of the
toolkits I mentioned, but the resulting code looks little like Motif, and I
have little confidence that this software will catch on or otherwise result
in significant longevity for my code. GINA++ allows you to write code which
looks a great deal like Motif and also makes interesting use of inheritance,
but the resulting code is almost too Motif-like, and is certainly not
significantly less verbose than equivalent C code. InterViews looks
promising, but I haven't found a free version with Motif support, and I'm
not confident how widely InterViews with Motif support will be adopted,
and what specific Motif support will be available over time. The
other libraries produce code which is less Motif-like, but which does not make
sufficient use of the features of C++ to simplify my coding task.
At this point, my inclination is to write my Motif manipulation routines in
C, and invoke those routines from my C++ code using simple abstractions suited
to my specific task. Later, if OSF or some credible standards-setting body
comes up with a C++ interface to Motif, I will change to that. It does me
no goo to write in C++ if my choice of interfaces leaves me with code which
leaves me tied to an abstraction which is not consistent with the industry
directions. It's better to take a standard if inferior solution for now
than to go with a slgihtly superior approach which will leave me with both
useless code and useless skills a few years from now. Views.h++ is the only
library I'd consider right now, but in our environment, we'd end up spending
nearly $5000 to use it, and I can't justify it when it's likely to cause
short-term productivity decreases as we learn the new abstraction, and is
unlikely to be a sufficiently long-lived solution for us to reap the benefits
at the high end of the J curve.

Your might take a look a PLPLOT. Version 4.99c
can be found anonymous ftp from hagar.ph.utexas.edu, in the pub/plplot
directory.
--Mark

| Mark Stucky | Email: |
| United Technologies Research Center | |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From the README file of version 4.99c:
This is the PLPLOT distribution. PLPLOT is a scientific plotting package for
many systems, small and large alike. Despite its small size
and quickness, it has enough power to satisfy most users, including: standard
x-y plots, semilog plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D plots, mesh plots,
bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs
may be placed on a single page with multiple lines in each graph. Different
line styles, widths and colors are supported. A virtually infinite number of
distinct area fill patterns may be used. There are almost 1000 characters in
the extended character set. This includes four different fonts, the Greek
alphabet and a host of mathematical, musical, and other symbols. The fonts
can be scaled to any size for various effects. Many different output device
drivers are available , including a portable metafile
format and renderer.
The PLPLOT package is freely distributable, but NOT in the public domain.
The PLPLOT source code, except header files and those files explicitly
granting permission, may not be used in a commercial software package without
consent of the authors. You are allowed and encouraged to include the PLPLOT
object library and header files in a commercial package provided that: it
is explicitly and prominently stated that the PLPLOT library is freely
available, and the full copyrights on the PLPLOT package be displayed
somewhere in the documentation for the package.
We welcome suggestions on how to improve this code, especially in the form of
user-contributed enhancements or bug fixes. If PLPLOT is used in any
published papers, please include an acknowledgment or citation of our work,
which will help us to continue improving PLPLOT. Also, please remember that
as PLPLOT is not a commercial product, we cannot be expected to offer the
kind of support that a commercial product may. There is great interest
in extending PLPLOT and fixing bugs, but the principal authors can only
afford to work on it part time. Improvements will necessarily focus on
those which help us get our work done.
PLPLOT is written in C, enabling it to run on many platforms practically
without modification. Fortran programs may use it transparently; stub
routines are provided to handle the C<->Fortran interface without any
modification of the user program. C programs are required to include the
header file "plplot.h"; see the documentation for more details.
The main documentation for PLPLOT is in the doc/ directory in the form of
several TeX files; please consult this for additional information . Unfortunately documentation tends to lag actual improvements to
the code, so don't be surprised if some known features are not explained
there. Consult 'Changes.log' to see a list of recent changes.
At present, PLPLOT is known to work on the following systems:
Unix: SunOS
A/IX
HP-UX
Unicos
DG/UX
Ultrix
SysV
Linux
Amiga/Exec
MS-DOS
OS/2
NeXT
For more information on how to get or use PLPLOT on your system, see:
- appendices to the PLPLOT manual
- system-specific documentation in the appropriate sys/<system> directory.

PLPLOT is the result of the effort of many people, so it is impractical to
list all the contributors. Those currently supporting and otherwise
responsible for the package in its present form include:
Maurice LeBrun
Please send all comments, flames, patches, etc, to me. I am responsible for
all the PLPLOT kernel development as well as most of the work on the
metafile, xwindow, xterm, postscript, tektronix, and Amiga drivers.

ge!severy% Overriding window manager focus processing
Organization: GE Information Services, Rockville, MD
Lines: 44
NNTP-Posting-Host: cs.utexas.edu
Keywords: Window Manager Focus Motif
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 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

There are several products you might investigate. If you've got
$20,000 per seat and high-end hardware, Gain Momentum might be a good
choice. It isn't compatible with HyperCard, but has a similar
architecture . I don't have contact
information, but they were recently purchased by Sybase who shouldn't
be too hard to find.
If you're running News on SPARC, check out HyperLook
. It uses Postscript as a scripting language
which is good if you need to do lots of display oriented scripting,
but not so good for non-programmers. It was $995, last I heard.
You might also look at our product MetaCard. We're alpha-testing
direct importing of HyperCard stacks , so we're obviously the closest in
functionality. MetaCard runs on most UNIX workstations and costs
$495. Email to for more details.

They aren't functions, they are character arrays. The standard strings
are either defined as string constants or character pointers into
XtShellStrings and XtStrings determined by XTSTRINGDEFINES. Your
libraries were compiled with this defined and your application with it
undefined so simply recompile one or the other. It is probably worth

The version I have is using the x256q code instead of the default X Windows

it requires xstdcmap -best be run before it will work, annoyning but not a

Announcing tcpview: A Motif-based TCP/IP protocol analyzer
Organization: UW Networks and Distributed Computing
Lines: 89
Keywords: protocol analyzer TCP/IP
To:
Tcpview is the result of several problems we had at UW. We have several
Network General Sniffers which are heavily used to help debug problems on
several hundred subnets. These are good tools, but they are 1) heavy,
2) hard to find when you need one, 3) limited in their software expandibility,
4) difficult to use to upload data for analysis, 5) cannot be remotely
operated, and 6) cannot resolve names with DNS, requiring much manual
manipulation of the name table. We also sometimes use tcpdump, but we found
it 1) too difficult for most people, 2) did not have enough information for
many protocols, 3) could not be used interactively, 4) could not handle
TCP streams and 5) could not read Sniffer files. However, tcpdump did do
a reasonable job of decoding a large number of protocols, and could be easily
modified. Tcpview is an attempt to resolve these problems
by adding a Motif interface to tcpdump and expanding its features.
Tcpview has been tested on a DECstation 5000 and Sun 4 under Ultrix 4.2 and
SunOS 4.1 respectively. It should work on the same systems as tcpdump.
It compiles with cc and gcc on the DEC and Sun. To build tcpview you will
need Motif 1.1 or better.
The following files are available for anonymous ftp from
ftp.cac.washington.edu in /pub/networking
tcpview-1.0.tar.Z tcpview and tcpdump source code
tcpview-1.0.sun.tar.Z Sun4 binaries
tcpview-1.0.dec.tar.Z DEC Mips Ultrix 4.2 binaries
What tcpview adds to tcpdump:
- easier interface
- enhanced protocol decoding
- hex display of frame
- capture based on time, number of frames, or user interrupt
- can show ethernet addresses with manufacturer's name
- ethernet address host table
- can easily follow a stream, highlighting out-of-order frames
- can send TCP data to an external file or filter for additional
processing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHANGES TO TCPDUMP 2.2.1
New features:
Now reads and writes Network General Sniffer files. When used with '-r', the
file type will be automatically detected.
Can now read in an SNMP MIB file.
The hex format has been changed.
New time options have been added.
Options were added to allow viewing and processing of the data in TCP packets.
Bugs were fixed in the relative TCP sequence numbers.
New flags:
-R read Sniffer file. Not usually needed, except for reading from stdin
-ttt prints delta times
-tttt prints times relative to the first frame
-W write a Sniffer save file
-x print frame in hexdump format.
Sample output:

How to access 24-bit color on cg8?
Article-I.D.: lclark.1993Apr28.000956.12004
Organization: Lewis & Clark College, Portland OR
Lines: 15
X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.1 PL8]
We have a Sun 3/80 and we have just acquired a cg8 frame buffer card.
The cg8 is supposed to support both a 24-bit color visual and a monochrome visual.
The default visual for the xnews server is the monochrome, and we are unable to change it to
the 24-bit visual. We have tried using XGetVisualInfo to get a visual of depth 24, but had no
success. xdpyinfo gives no information about a 24-bit deep visual, only monochrome.
There are two possible solutions:
If someone has patches for X11R5 Xsun server, could they forward them to us?
Otherwise, could someone instruct us how to access the 24-bit color in openwindows?

Hi folks
Say, I'm new to R5 and have one quick question.
In using xon , I notice that it
always comes up with a very small window . I'm pretty
sure its the default font. My xterms all work normally.
Is xon supposed to read your .Xresources for a font size ?
xrdb -q appears to show the right stuff.
I can use xon with arguments such as xterm -fn 10x20 etc
and everything is correct. Of course you could always do a
simple script to do this , but I have a feeling I'm missing
something simple here.
Comments / suggestions appreciated.

XBell

I have a program produces a continuous tone by calling XBell
repeatedly at an interval equal to the duration of the bell. If it is
run more than once on a display, the tones are buffered in the X
server and the tone contunues after all occurrences of the program
have exited. Is there a convenient way of preventing this, e.g., by
emptying the X server bell buffer when each program exits?

One widget is a multi-column list , and would therefore be probably be

Is this more difficult ?
Alternatively, if anyone has a multi-column list widget they

Does it by any chance exist in Motif 1.2 already ?

If you're on the internet and your site isn't sheltered from external
tcp/ip traffic, you can use the Remote Andrew Demo to see what the
Andrew Toolkit looks like:

This network service allows you to run Andrew Toolkit applications
without the overhead of obtaining or compiling the Andrew software. You
need a host machine on the Internet, and you need to be running the X11
window system. A simple "finger" command will allow you to experience
ATK applications firsthand. You'll be able to compose multimedia
documents, navigate through the interactive Andrew Tour, and use the
Andrew Message System to browse through CMU's three thousand bulletin
boards and newsgroups.
To use the Remote Andrew Demo service, simply run the following command

I just implemented this and it seems I can just about achieve the display

it's a bit "choppy" at times. Also, loading the data, making an XImage,

Shared memory PutImage looks interesting, but I need someone to point me to some

If you specify the rootwindow when you are creating your GC. You may
use Xlib to draw over multiple windows.
I have an application that does something similar for rubber banding.
curs_move = XCreateFontCursor ;

evnt_mask= GCForeground | GCPlaneMask | GCLineWidth | GCFunction
| GCSubwindowMode;
