[comp.windows.x] X11 and encore multitasking

rcomg@dropbear.co.rmit.oz (Mark Gregory) (01/13/90)

I have recently tried to run two xgif viewers concurrently on an Encore multimax
and I have done this bye inserting the xgif code into a c shell that calls
the encore's multitaksing library and run two tasks.  Each task is one xgif
viewer.  However, the XOpenDisplay fails.

I think it may be because the encore's parallel library links in another
version of crt0.o called taskcrt0.o and this has a different _environ spec,
or something.

Is ther anyway to feed the XOpenDisplay the information that it needs?

I can be contacted as rcomg@chudich.co.rmit.oz

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
