I am trying to find the complete source code for hte xwindows program xphoon. I want to run it on DECwindows, but will port a normal xwindows version. Thanks, Jim Dryfoos Also reachable at dryfo001@dukemc.mc.duke.edu

I have modified it slightly and made it available for anonymous ftp. xphoon is a program that displays the current phase of the moon in the root window of your X display. The wonderful program was written by Jef Poskanzer and Craig Leres. The original motivation for this program was that xsetroot was too slow. Loading a full-screen bitmap took about 15 seconds. They made a trivial program that had fullmoon.bitmap compiled in, and it ran in less than a second. (And incidentally, the executable was smaller than fullmoon.bitmap.) Then later they came up with the cheapmoons, the phase hacking, and finally the earthlight. The xphoon program as distributed with X11R3 had the display size hard coded into the program. I modified xphoon to automatically center the fullmoon bitmap on the display. Since my xphoon is a derivative work, I have not placed it on export.lcs.mit.edu. xphoon is available via anonymous ftp from shorty.cs.wisc.edu:/pub/xphoon.tar.Z ...Tim -- Tim Theisen Systems Programmer Internet: tim@cs.wisc.edu Department of Computer Sciences UUCP: uwvax!tim University of Wisconsin-Madison Phone: (608)262-0438 1210 West Dayton Street FAX: (608)262-9777 Madison, WI 53706
