Having just installed the A/UX X Window System version 2 on A/UX 2.0, I discover that MacX 1.0.1 conflicts with MacroMaker 6.0.5. MacX can't see MacTCP Tool when MacroMaker is installed, and during start-up, warns that no clients will be able to connect because no communications tools appear to be installed. Somebody must once have had MacX working with MacroMaker: there's a note in the README file recommending that Macromaker is not used to record keystroke sequences targeted at an X window (because MacroMaker does not record key-up events, and X clients tend to need them). Can anybody suggest a way around? Tell me what I'm doing wrong? Request further information that I've omitted? -- Dominic Dunlop

Unfortunately, MacroMaker is somehow preventing the MacTCP driver on A/UX from being opened. I have reported this as a bug to the A/UX Toolbox folks. Hopefully a future release of A/UX or MacroMaker will fix this. |> Somebody must once have had MacX working with MacroMaker: there's a note |> in the README file recommending that Macromaker is not used to record |> keystroke sequences targeted at an X window (because MacroMaker does not |> record key-up events, and X clients tend to need them). I tried MacroMaker when MacX 1.0.1 was in beta test -- that's how this got into the release notes. It DOES work on MacOS 6.0.5. |> Can anybody suggest a way around?

However, some of the other Macintosh macro software might work better (does anyone know if QuickKeys works on A/UX?)... |> -- |> Dominic Dunlop -- Alan Mimms (alan@apple.com, ...!apple!alan) | My opinions are generally A/UX X group | pretty worthless, but Apple Computer | they *are* my own...
