[comp.windows.x] Tgif-2.5

william@oahu.cs.ucla.edu (William Cheng) (04/25/91)

I've just put tgif-2.5 in the following places for anonymous ftp:

	export.lcs.mit.edu	contrib/tgif-2.5.tar.Z
	cs.ucla.edu		pub/tgif-2.5.tar.Z

Here's a short list of added features/bug fixes.

1)  Add support for Metric grid system.  ^#- toggles between
    the English and the Metric grid system.  The X default
    GridSystem is used to specify the initial grid system.
2)  Add pinned main menu.  Thanks for Kouichi Matsuda
    (matsuda@ccs.mt.nec.co.jp).  The X default MainMenuPinDistance
    controls the horizontal distance away from the main popup menu
    the mouse must travel before the main menu is pinned.
    Right mouse button moves the pinned main menu and the middle
    mouse button un-pins it.
3)  Include VMS compatibility stuff.  Thanks to gjc@mitec5.mitech.com
    for the VMS code and Roger Grywalski <grywalski@idicl1.idi.battelle.org>
    for helping to make things work.  (The VMS makefile, descrip.mms,
    will be included in the distribution from now on.  VMS users should
    modify the TGIF_PATH and TMP_DIR definitions in the DEFINES line
    in descrip.mms.)
4)  Add X defaults AskForXBmSpec and AskForXPmSpec so that
    magnification and geometry can be specified when importing
    a X Bitmap or a X Pixmap file.  Also allow #RRRGGGBBB type
    of color specification in a X Pixmap file (easier integration
    with xgrabsc).
5)  Add X default XBmReverseVideo to use reverse video when
    importing X Bitmap files.
6)  Add X default NoTgifIcon to disable tgif's own icon window.
7)  Add X default MsgFontSizeIndex to specify the point size used
    for messages and popup windows.
8)  Add X default SplineTolerance so that the user can see a
    smoother spline if desired (doesn't affect print out).
9)  Allow the root name to be '//' for Apollo platforms.
    (Users on Apollo systems should add -DAPOLLO to the
    DEFINES definition in Imakefile or Makefile.noimake.)
10) Fix a bunch of calloc() bugs with related to string copy.

Note:  In the DEFINES definition in the Imakefile and the
       Makefile.noimake, the PSFILE_MOD changes from a string
       to an octal number.

The patch will be posted to comp.sources.x.
