We have just received Progress Version 6.2C for ISC Unix (actually for generic System V/386). One of the first things I tried was to test the presence of the promised X11 support, even though we don't have an X server that supports TCP/IP connections (yet). To my surprise, I get a message that "-ws is not supported by this executable". I get the same answer if I specify any X toolkit option. Does this mean we will have to buy a Sun to have X support ? In the mean time, regular Progress will run nicely in an xterm. If anyone needs a protermcap entry for xterm, just mail me. I have not yet managed to make a proper protermcap for the recently posted color xterm. I basically added the color capabilities from the AT386 (ISC console) entry, as they both use ANSI color escape code, but this just does not work. -- Pim Zandbergen domain : pim@cti-software.nl CTI Software BV uucp : uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ctisbv!pim Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 phone : +31 70 3542302 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands fax : +31 70 3512837

Well, it turned out to be quite simple. You have to use probuild to create a shell script that will load an executable with your system's X11 library. Thanks to Tim Atchison of Progress to get me into the right direction. It works remarkebly well, even though we have X11R4 instead of the required X11R3. I had to use the non-shared library though. When I first tried to use the shared X library, the linker could not resolve _event_to_mask. Apparently, wdsys.o relies on symbols used internally in the X11 library. -- Pim Zandbergen domain : pim@cti-software.nl CTI Software BV uucp : uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ctisbv!pim Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 phone : +31 70 3542302 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands fax : +31 70 3512837
