I need to add another input device (a barcode reader) such that it's output is recognized by the X server. The device in question generates ascii strings. What is the best method to integrate this device into the X environment? So far, I have done some prototypes that after some other intermediate manipulation of the data can register the new input source via the XtAppAddInput. This allows for a clean solution on a per application basis, but does not give a clean solution for a system solution. Please feel free to respond to me directly. Thanks, in advance, Michael Gray mag@genrad.genrad.com

The file ext.doc in the doc/Server directory on the core tape tells how to add devices to the server. The other files in that directory are useful too. Christopher Vickery Queens College of CUNY
