I have put the latest version of xlock in expo:~ftp/contrib/xlock.shar.Z.
The previous version was moved to xlock.1.8.shar.Z. I sent this same
file to comp.sources.x, so you should see it there in a week or so.
Here's the README
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the latest version of xlock (sccs version 22.3)
This will start with patchlevel = 1.0
There is a minimal Makefile which you may need to massage in order
to get it to generate the right thing from the Imakefile. Neither
of these has been tested since we don't use Imake.
Changes since last version (1.8):
Ability to set the nice level of the xlock process, to keep it from
hogging all of the cpu.
-display is parsed to be able to lock unix:1, etc...
new modal interface to different lockscreen screensavers.
three sample modes.
-mode qix is the old spinning lines demo...
-mode life is a new implementation of Conway's Life simulation.
-mode hop is the "hopalong fractals" from last version.
lots of bug fixes and code cleanup.

A couple of days ago, I ftp'ed the new version of xlock, compiled it, installed it, and found it not to work. When I run it (from the root window, of course), it gives me a "can't lock terminal display" error message. I am currently running Ultrix 4.0 (rev 179) on a DEC 5000/200. The Xterminals are NCD19b's. The Xversion is X11R4. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [FAQ 39 didn't seem to help much] Thanks, John Dzubera system person/grad student dzubera@mozart.cs.colostate.edu dzubera@lamar.colostate.edu
