I am trying to " port" (for a novice like me porting is a very procrustean affair 8-)) xviews to a personal Iris. I cannot seem to get a couple library files to compile in libxvin/notify. Has anyone already done this port? -- Tony Persechini Department of Physiology University of Rochester Medical Center

I have gotten both XView 1.0 and 2.0 working on the IRIS under 3.3 in the past couple weeks with the help of some patches from someone at SGI. X-View requires sigvec which is not supported before IRIX 3.3. The patches I had are for 1.0 but the same basic changes work in 2.0. Pretty much everything works except I am having problems with pop-up menus sometimes not drawing until the curor is moved over each item and the selected item is usually drawn with black text on a black background. I'm not sure if this is a general problem with XView which I should try to fix or just a set up problem. Some of the patches I made to get it to work, I didn't do cleanly with '#ifdef sgi', but I will clean that up eventually. Also, not being a pro with Imake I had a real problem getting the include files to be moved correctly so I ended up changing a rule in Imake.rules which I know is a no-no. Anyway if you want the changes I made I could probably generate a patch file.
