I managed to build xgks on a 80386 SysV machine. Well almost. There were three functions in xgks/x/xevent.c that were some sort of SIG_IO signal handler. I stubbed these, but think I need them because my windows do no resize, iconify or handle input events correctly. SysV doesn't have SIG_IO (SIG_IOT?) The applications initialy come up fine, and most of the simple demos apppear to work. They just dont handle X events right. I built the sled demo, not knowing what it was. It needs five files to run which I don't have. There is apparently no documentation (although it is referred to). I don't even know what it is supposed to do! Are there any other limitations I might run into, not owning the the target machine or having a Fortran compiler?

Sorry to waste bandwidth with this but.....
I need an Internet address for
unidata.ucar.edu
for my local host tables. Thanks in advance.

Could someone either mail me or let me know where I can get the patches to X11R4 XGKS. Thanks muchy in advance. cristy@vax1.acs.udel.edu -- The UUCP Mailer

Recently, I have been using XGKS in place of NCAR graphics GKS system. This has brought some questions about additional capibilty to mind (as always is the case). Maybe someone in wonderful X-Land has also asked about these capabilities and came up with a solution: 1. I'd like to be able to produce PostScript directly from XGKS' X-Window, instead of having to go thru this metafile buisness. It seems all the information is contained sybolically in XGKS, so producting a PostScript plot directly from it should (let's underline that word) be straightforward. 2. I'd like some kind of XGKS Widget that you can create which captures all XGKS input and output instead of XGKS creating its own window. Its much better for a GUI to have control over all its widgets instead of its output being thrown up in some other window. Well, thats my wish list. Anyone have any presents for me? (I know its a little EARLY for Chistmas, but...) Thanks much, -- Eric Slimko | Jet Propulsion Laboratories ems@socrates.jpl.nasa.gov | NASA/CalTech

I just ripped routines out of xgks, and modified them for the XgksWidget's realize and destroy procedures. Let me know if you want a copy and I'll mail it to you. > Well, thats my wish list.

Hello, Can anyone tell me the ftp site I can get xgks from? Does it do what I suspect it does (executes gks commands in a window)? Thanks in advance, J. Ahn jahn@homxc.att.com I do not speak for AT&T

> Can anyone tell me the ftp site I can get xgks from? unidata.ucar.edu [128.117.140.3] in pub/xgks.tar.Z there is an Xgks Widget which can be found on export.lcs.mit.edu [18.30.0.238] in contrib/xgks-widget.tar.Z (you need XGKS to use it) > Does it do what I suspect it does (executes gks commands in a window)? XGKS creates a toplevel window for each GKS workstation created, which you use as you would any other GKS workstation. It implements level 2c GKS. The widget lets you create a workstation in a widget rather than a toplevel window. Neil
