Xdbx version 2.1 for X11R4 is now available for anonymous ftp on expo.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.212) under contrib as xdbx2.1.tar.Z : -rw-rw-rw- 1 ftp 114383 Jul 26 16:21 xdbx2.1.tar.Z This is the most recent version currently available. Be careful not to grab xdbx.tar.Z, which is an older version. This version should work properly on Sun-3, Sun-4 workstations, and DECstation 3100. It will probably work on the VAXstations also but I don't have the machine to test it. For those who cannot ftp, this will be posted to comp.sources.x but it probably won't show up there for some time since the moderator is out.

Could this please be reverted so that I get the windows sized the same way as in V2.0? Or can the appication defaults be edited to achieve this? Thanks in advance! Dipl.-Inform.

Thanks to Dana Chee (dana@thumper.bellcore.com) for the patch to the xdbx application defaults file. I have put a new copy of xdbx2.1.tar.Z on expo : -rw-rw-rw- 1 ftp 114433 Jul 27 11:36 xdbx2.1.tar.Z For those who ftp before 11:36 EDT on July 27, you may want to ftp it again. Sorry for any inconvenience. Thanks, Po Cheung Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC) cheung@sw.mcc.com

Strange, I get normal sized windows when I fire it up. On the other hand, when I compiled xdbx with gcc 1.37 on my Sun4 4.0.3 I promptly got a core dump. Compiling it with cc fixed that problem. lindholm@staff.ucs.ubc.ca George_Lindholm@mtsg.ubc.ca USERGNL@UBCMTSG.BITNET University of British Columbia Computing Services (604) 228-4375
