To install co-Xist (and make it run) ;-) 1. install it with the installer in default directory to do this hit return when it asks what directory to install in. You need to be able to write to /usr/bin and /usr/lib (if you don't install in the default directory you will need to link /usr/bin/X11 and /usr/lib/X11 to where you installed them) 2. copy the sample files from /usr/lib/X11 to your home directory sample.twmrc sample.Xdefaults sample.xserverrc sample.xinitrc 3. rename the sample files by removing sample from the name leaving: .twmrc .Xdefaults .xserverrc .xinitrc 4. It is helpful to add /usr/bin/X11 to your path 5. drag /usr/bin/X11/xinit to your icon dock 6. double-click on xinit. (the best way to start co-Xist and clients) double-clicking on co-Xist will only get you a blank window and will require you to 'setenv DISPLAY unix:0' and then start the clients like xterm from a shell. The co-Xist demo can comes with xterm, xhost, xhost, maze, xclock. If installed properly (and started by xinit) it should start up two xterm windows, xclock, and twm. You should be able to run other x clients that you might have. The co-Xist server will do about everything the current release will, but will stop running after 10-15 minutes and tell you it is a demo copy. The co-Xist demo was submitted to nova.cc.purdue but I can't find it anymore. Should I should submit it again? If anyone knows of any other ftp sites that have the co-Xist demo or any sites you think I should submit the demo to please let me know. If you are unable to get a copy from ftp just send me e-mail and I can arrange to get you a copy on disk (for free) or e-mail one to you if you can receive NeXT mail. If you have any problems getting a copy or getting it to run let me know. I should be able to help. ===================================================== Wes Smith Pencom Software 9050 Capital of Texas Highway North Suite 300 Austin, Texas 78759 E-Mail (NeXT): pensoft!co-Xist_support@cs.utexas.edu Phone: 1-800-PENCOM-4 or (512) 343-1111 FAX: (512) 343-9650 =====================================================
