And the well-spent time patching and compileing... Is there a free source of docs for the XView toolkit? The ones that come with X11R4 are all about converting SunTools aplications. -- stripes@wam.umd.edu "Security for Unix is like Josh_Osborne@Real_World,The Mutitasking for MS-DOS" "The dyslexic porgramer" - Kevin Lockwood Who needs friends when you can sit alone in your room and drink?

However, the source to Mush is currently free and a port of Mush to XView probably isn't that far around the corner since it already has a sunview interface on it now. Mush ports to every flavor of unix and is even running DOS and OS/2 (apologies). > >The XView R4 source donation to MIT includes: > >This is source to a supported toolkit that you can have and use for free. > >Your cost is only what it is to get the tape or bits that include the source. > Is there a free source of docs for the XView toolkit? The ones that come with > X11R4 are all about converting SunTools aplications. The documentation is not free -- but the source code that is used in the doc is free. The "doc" is Volume 7 of the O'Reilly && Associates series on X Programming/Using, etc... The source to the example programs come with the XView distribution. dan ----------------------------------------------------------- O'Reilly && Associates argv@sun.com / argv@ora.com 632 Petaluma Ave, Sebastopol, CA 95472 800-338-NUTS, in CA: 800-533-NUTS, FAX 707-829-0104

I have run it on R4, and it works for the most part. I just saw some strangeness in the mail message header window. >Is there a free source of docs for the XView toolkit? The ones that come with >X11R4 are all about converting SunTools aplications. The only "free" docs are those on the tape and expo. O'Reilly sells the only programmer's manual for XView.

When I run the sample programs from the O'Reilly Xt Programmers Manual, the buttons do not have boarders drawn around them when I run the program under the olwm, (Open Look Window Manager.) But it I run the programs under twm, or dwm, (Dec's Window Manager) it works fine. I also noticed that olwm has problems with xfig. It doesn't draw the boarders around the buttons. What is going on here. What flags for the window manager do I need to set in order for the window manager to work. I have tried to add *boarderWidth: 5 to the application defaults file but this does nothing. Could some kind soul tell me what they have done to fix this delima. Thanks -- Jerry Waldorf
