I'm interested in seeing what kinds of cool things people are doing with the NeWS/PostScript capability of 4Sight. If you have anything you'd like to share please email me details; code would be even better. I'm currently making pie menus work in 4Sight for all clients including GL clients. I have a couple of minor bugs to fix then I'll post all the stuff to this group. -- -Mark

Mark, I'm just finishing up a screen lock program which is written using CPS. Basically, I used PostScript to open a blanket window over the screen which does not have Frame controls and displays an image in either Sun raster file format or IRIS RGB image file format like the ones under /usr/NeWS/smi. If you don't supply a file name, a default image is used. The PostScript source is converted to C with CPS and the C source portion opens up a small GL client window for inputing the user's password, and does the input and password checking. If anyone is interested, I will gladly mail them the sources; currently they total only about 550 lines. -moss
