For those of you (us) still runing Suntools (or perhaps Xview on X), here is a great line for your .suntools file: shelltool -Ws 287 295 -I "cd /usr/demo/globeframes ; exec ../framedemo" It creates a tiny window and execs the rotating globe demo program. Move the mouse cursor in the window, type "f" or "F" repeatedly to make it go Faster and "s" or "S" to make it rotate slower. Of course you can add -Wl (label) and -WL icon-label options such as "Stop! I want to get off!" or "You are here." If you like this little trick, please send your favorite sunview background screen (file) to me. The easiest way to execute the following commands is to copy your background raster image to a file called "file" Then select and stuff the following text in a shelltool or cmdtool: compress file uuencode file.Z file.Z | split -700 - /tmp/tm$$ foreach f (/tmp/tm*) /usr/ucb/mail -s $f wyle@inf.ethz.ch < $f end /bin/rm -f /tmp/tm* uncompress file Thanks, -Mitchell F.
