I have recently gotten a copy of the FORMS library & I really am impressed with it. At our installation, we are moving more towards X. I was wondering if there is anything out there like the FORMS library, that was written in X. Thanks, vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv | Kenneth M.

I have recently built the FORMS library. I have been trying to develop a few
forms. What I am trying to do is build a form for tar-ing files to & from
remote machines. I am getting as input the remote host, the remote dir, & the
local dir. I then try to xeq a system call like the following:
system("rsh remotehost \"cd fromdir; tar cvBf - .\" | (cd todir; tar xBf -)")
This system call xeq's & shows up with a ps -ef on both machines, but nothing
happens. If I use the same system call in a short c-prog with no forms stuff,
it works fine; it also works fine if I make the call in my forms program BEFORE
I do any form generation.
Does anyone out there using the FORMS library know what is wrong, or how I
can do the above?

In a previous posting I was trying to get some info on FORMS & making system
calls from within a c-prog. I have decided my problem is in gl.
The following program, when run xeq's the rsh command, but no output shows up.
#include <gl.h>
main() {
prefposition(100, 400, 500, 800);
winopen("RED");
shademodel(FLAT);
color(RED);
clear();
color(7);
cmov2i(60,200);
charstr("This Window is RED");
system("rsh stokes ls -l");
sleep(5);
} /* End of Main */
If I do not make any gl calls & simply do
main() {
system ("rsh stokes ls -l");
}
I get the listing of the files on stokes.
Why does this not work in the gl program?

Could it have anything to do with forground and background? When you call gl the program is automatically put in background. You could try calling foreground and see if that has any effect. -- Brent L.
