Does anyone know how I can get TSNIP to work properly with UW? Thanks. Jason Leigh jal@zeus.cs.wayne.edu

I am going to guess that the problem is in offset (how far UW puts characters from the window edges). Both my solutions are really avoiding the problem. 1) use DNET instead of UW. 2) use snipit instead of tsnip. Snipit allows you to adjust the x and y offset it uses when scanning your region for characters. Sort of like fine tuning. That is, unless I got the two mixed up.... You need the one with the control window. Anyway... try slightly adjusting the offset until it starts finding letters instead of garbage. Remember the numbers, because you will have to adjust back to 0,0 to cut out of CLI windows. This adjustment should have no effect on the window you are pasting to, just the one you cut from. If you don't want to adjust back and forth, you can run both snipit and tsnip at the same time, as the mouse button manipulations are different. -don perley

I have been able to cut text successfully from a UW screen using TSNIP and adjusting the offset but my problem is setting it to output back onto the UW screen. Because of this problem, the -emacs mode doesn't work.
