[comp.sys.next] X,Motif,NeXTDimension

philip@utstat.uucp (Philip McDunnough) (03/27/91)

Does the commercial version of X( from Pencomm?) support tektronics,
vt320,etc...graphics' emulations? Also, what is the advantage of
having Motif? Anyone have an estimate of the size of the program?

As for NeXTDimension, when inputting an NTSC signal( say a TV program)
can you resize the Window to the whole screen? Thank's for the info.

The size of Motif is about 20Mb in the .tar.Z form and about 100Mb in the
in the untarred form.  (Compiled form I don't know because I haven't gotten it
compiled yet)  Motif also has some test suites that the README file says grow
to over 400Mb when compiled.

The size of X-mouse is 10.6Mb in .tar.Z form and something like 23Mb compiled

BTW Anyone have [non CoXist] Motif running?

The noncommercial version XNeXT supports tek xterm (as of today).
I tested it with gnuplot and it works. I presume the Commercial
version must too.

If you come from a Motif environment (HP-UX, AIX), it is hard to give
up the 3d look, and the widget library; if you come from Sun-Dec, you
may be satisfied with twm and its descendants (I use tvtwm on XNeXT).

Yes, I have Motif running with the XMouse code.  It was only marginally
tricky to bring it up...  I use mwm and the clm code and it all works just
fine.  Contact me for more info
