[comp.unix.aix] The xset command

CALT@SLACVM.SLAC.STANFORD.EDU (05/07/91)

Does anyone have the same problem as follows?

On a Sun machine, the xset command provides the "user preference utility
for X". Precisely, for example, one can use "xset +fp=path" to set font
path to the directories given in the path argument.

But on an RS/6000 machine, the xset command is to set options for the
Xstation 120. What's for any machines other than an Xstation?

Thanks in advance!

'xset' is a sample X11 client, found in /usr/lpp/X11/Xamples/clients/xset.
It doesn't come compiled, but it can easily be compiled along with the rest
of the X11 samples; see /usr/lpp/X11/Xamples/README.
