The x3270 at export.lcs.mit.edu supposedly does. I use another x3270
that was cleaned up by Brian Ward <ward@math.psu.edu> which adds better
color support, and cleans up _lots_ of bugs, as well as cut&paste.
I just put it on export.lcs.mit.edu, as x3270v2.65beta.tar.Z.

What tube does the Viewsonic 17 use? Does is support 1600x1280? I've been
looking a a Philips 1762DT which uses a Sony Trinitron tube, has digital
controls, supports up to 1280x1024NI, and has .25mm dot pitch - It can be
found for under $1000.

I would like to know as well, since I just bought a 200MB Seagate IDE
drive and want to add it to my computer (a four-year-old Gateway
386/20), which currently has an 80MB Seagate SCSI drive. The SCSI
controller is such that the docs told me not to specify it in the CMOS
setup, i.e. both hard drive settings are listed as "Not installed,"
and apparently the SCSI controller works its wonders. I wondering if
this is a problem. Also, I remember how, when I helped my cousin
install his second IDE drive, we had to define a master/slave
relationship for them; do I need to do something similar here?
Same here.
Any help would be appreciated, since I intend to install this drive
ASAP; I'd like to know what to do (and what not to do) before I start.
Thanks!

595 | Okay, I got enough replies about the Kubota Kenai/Denali systems that I
will post a summary of their capabilities. I haven't actually used one
or seen one, so take the specs with a grain of salt. I'd like to see
an independent review of one against, say, an SGI Indigo Extreme or
something.
Basically, the Kenai workstations are DEC Alpha AXP based workstations that
run OSF/1 ( DEC's ) and will likely run Windows NT in the future. They are
binary compatible with Digital's OSF/1 Alpha AXP implementation. Denali
is their graphics subsystem, which is upgradable in the field by
simply adding "transformation engines".
The two main Kenai machines are the 3400 Imaging and 3D Graphics Workstation
and the 3500 Imaging and 3D Graphics Workstation.

Okay, now the real stuff. The Kenai stations work with a graphics architecture
known as Denali. The Denali comes in three models, the E, P, and V. They
use a DECchip 21064 superscalar RISC processor at 150MHz. Their

As you can see, these are pretty powerful workstations, and the best part
is the pricing. I would recommend that you call Kubota for more information.
Their number is 408-727-8100. I'm sure they'll send you an information you
may want. Oh, some prices:
Low-end
Kenai 3400, E Series w/ 1 TEM and 5 FBM --- 27,795 dollars U.S.
Kenai 3500, E Series w/ 1 TEM and 5 FBM --- 45,345 dollars U.S.
High-end
Kenai 3400, V Series w/ 6 TEM and 20 FBM -- 61,795 dollars U.S.
Kenai 3500, V Series w/ 6 TEM and 20 FBM -- 79,345 dollars U.S.
If someone could post a relative comparision with an Indigo Extreme or
something I would appreciate it.
Hope this helps someone out there,

I have been using the JOIN command for many years now, mostly with good
success in duplicating unix-style file mounts. You will hear lots of
people cursing JOIN because they confuse it with the dos APPEND command
(a truely gnarly hack), but don't believe them. You also will hear
people saying that Microsoft recommends that you not use JOIN. But, in
Microsoft's Windows 4 Workgroups Resource toolkit, the following appears:
"JOIN, an MS-DOS utility, works fine with Windows for Workgroups 3.1 if
you do not change the state of the joined drives during a Windows for
Workgroups 3.1 session. This includes adding or removing joined drives
from within Windows for Workgroups. We recommend that you do not use
JOIN when running Windows Setup or Windows for Workgroups 3.1."
Within this caveat, JOIN appears to be valid under windows. However, I
have found a couple of applications that don't deal well with filesystems
that have been "mounted" using join.
In particular, the worst offender is Word for Windows 2.0x. It gets very
confused when you edit and then try to save a file on a joined drive. It
wants to create the saved file as ~NNNNN.tmp in the current dir, then
delete the old file and rename the ~NNNNN.tmp file to the *.doc file.
Unfortunately, WfW usually writes the ~NNNNN.tmp file in some idiotic
place other than the current directory (often in the root dir of the
joined filesystem, but not always). Then, after deleting the original
*.doc file, it can't find the ~NNNNN.tmp file to rename it. Unless you
search your disk systems, the document is gone.
I have also found subtle problems using the MKS toolkit from a DOS box
when JOINed filesystems are present. I used to join c:\temp with a 4meg
ramdisk, but MKS sometimes gets confused when doing an "ls" on the c:\temp
dir, and misses some files in the temp dir. (This is difficult to
reproduce, but it goes away totally when JOIN is not used.) I think
this is a Windows problem, rather than MKS's, since it works OK under raw
DOS.
So, I would suggest that you can use JOIN, but be aware that it may not
be as robust you would like.
Wouldn't it be real great to "mount" network drives (i.e. Z:) under the main
file tree, rather than having all those darned drive letters? Unfortunately,
JOIN won't let you do it. There was talk on the net about a simple patch
to let JOIN work on network drives, but I don't remember the source.
It's too bad the JOIN command is not better implemented, since it would
avoid using all those stupid drive letters. I realize that MessDos was
meant for casual, even ignorant users, so "mounting" all the drives in
one file tree might be confusing. But, it looks like MS is going to carry
this over into windows NT (another OS meant for casual, even igorant
users -- NOT!). With all it's old family system baggage, maybe MS needs
a recovery group so they can get on with life :-(.

Certainly. Reference follows.
Bear in mind that there are at least two conditions which may be called
red/green colour blind. One, protanopia, is caused by a lack or major
dysfunction of the L cones, those that respond best to long
wavelengths. This gives much reduced red/green and red/violet discrimination and
also means that reds look dimmer than than they do to people with normal vision.
The other, deuteranopia, is due to missing or dysfunctional M cones although it
can also be caused by a lack of the L-M cone difference signals in the retina.
It also gives reduced red/green discrimination but red/violet is unaffected.
Unlike protanopia, reds are not dimmer than normal.
On a uniform chromaticity diagram - the horseshoe shaped one you see in computer
graphics books - there is a single confusion point for each type of colour
deficiency. Colours which are confused lie on straight lines radiating from this
point. For protanopia the point is at u'=0.61,v'=0.51, very close to the far red
corner. For deuteranopia, the point is at u'=-4.75, v'=1.31
Note that different experimental investigations in the literature give slightly
different values for these depending on the precise details of the experimental
setup, random errors, and so on. The values quoted are typical.
So if all colours on a line are seen as the same, which colour is actually seen?
This problem has now been solved. Tests on people with one normal eye and one
affected eye have shown that there is an axis for each type of disorder onto
which all the colours collapse. For protanopes this joins up 473nm and 574nm on
the spectral locus (the edge of the horseshoe); for deuteranopes the line is
very similar, joining 477nm and 579nm.
*So* to convert colours from normal vision to a simulated protanopia or
duuteranopia:
1) Plot the colour on a uniform chromaticity diagram
2) Construct a line from this point to the appropriate confusion point
3) Find the intersection of this line with the appropriate axis line
4) This is the new chromaticity.
The best reference for this is Meyer, G.W. & Greenberg, D.P. (1988) 'Colour
defective vision and computer graphics displays', IEEE Computer Graphics and
Applications 8(5) 28-40.
You will also need a decent reference on basic colour science if you are not
familiar with the CIE XYZ colour model and the uniform chromaticity scale diagram.
Yes this is certainly possible. You will need the chromaticities of the red
green and blue phosphors of the monitor you intend to display the images on, and
the chromaticity of the white point. This information can be measured, or
obtained from the manufacturer. I posted a list of some monitor chromaticities a
couple of weeks ago.
The procedure, for each pixel (!) is as follows. (Some lookup tables might be a
help here.)
A) convert RGB to CIE XYZ. This is a simple 3*3 matrix multiplication once you
have the monitor data.
B) retaining the Y component for later, convert XYZ to chromaticity coordinates u'v'
using u' = 4X/(X+15Y+3Z), v' = 9Y/(X+15Y+3Z)
C) find the equation of the line as in step 2 above
D) find the intersection as in step 3
E) convert back from u'v' to XYZ, using the Y value from step A
F) Ensure that this new colour can be displayed on your monitor; if not, move it
along a line in XYZ space towards neutral grey (ie half way between black and
white) until it is displayable.
Done; also posted for the rest of us.

3,793 | Hiyas ALL,
Upon getting Animated Desktop for Windows as a gift from my boyfriend, I
couldn't wait to install it. I had gotten an advertisement for it and put
it aside
with my list of 'I Wants.' After installing the software, it didn't load.
No part of
the software would load even though the install went seemingly well.
I called Deltapoint with the problem and after asking me twenty
million different questions about my system.. concluded that I had one of
the
systems that the software was 'incompatible with'. Of course they're
willing to
give me my $$$ back.. What a waste of time and energy. The folks on their
support line, although nice, are extremely ignorant regarding the workings
of
Windows 3.1.
After my experience with the installation of the SB 16, I learned
some of the function of windows dll files. Before sending back Desktop
Animator, decided to do some fooling around with the different versions of
.dll files I had. I had 2 versions of cpalette.dll one dated 8/92 and >
100K the
other dated 1/93 and smaller (the 1/93 smaller version was the one supplied
with Desktop Animator). I moved the bigger, older version of cpalette.dll
to a
directory outside my path. (For some reason, I had the older Cpalette.dll
in my
Windows directory and the newer cpallette in my windows\system directory.)
When I did this, the animator's editor loaded.. and so did 2 other of the
applications in the package.. the main application still didn't load. Does
anyone have any ideas as to why this would occur or any further suggestions | 2 |

Before I even think about getting this, is it going to be posted to
comp.sources.x at any time in the near future?

the following in my .Xdefaults:

So I believe that I have the correct font selected to use in xterm. I have NOT
set my LC_CTYPE environment variable because whatever I put it, it tells me that
that locale is not supported (apparently we have no additional locales defined,
or at least, /lib/locale doesn't exist). I can get some of the characters
above 127 to print out, but they are not where I'd expect them -- for example,
Alt-v does not produce a u umlaut. This leads me to believe that the fault
lies with the stty settings, which are as follows:
speed 9600 baud; line = 0; susp <undef>; dsusp <undef>
intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^K; swtch = ^@
eof = ^D; eol = ^@; min = 4; time = 0; stop = ^S; start = ^Q

If you want longer filenames for your documents, I heard of a wordprocessor for

It's not true. IDE bus uses signals which has similar name and same
meaning to the counterpart of ISA bus but its (IDE bus) signal timing
doesn't have to be same to ISA signal timing. My VL-IDE bus card has
a set of jumpers to set its transfer rate from 3.3MB/sec up to 8.3MB/
sec (the manufacturer might have to correct these numbers as 3.3
*milion* byte/sec and 8.3 *milion* byte/sec respectively). You
cannot transfer data at a rate of 8.3MB/sec on the ISA bus.

Sounds like a memory conflict problem, which can cause truly weird symptoms
like these. Call Dell tech support (or better, post to them on CSERVE if you
have an account) and get the memory range(s) used by video RAM on your
machine. The block windows from using those ranges with an
EMMEXCLUDE= statement in the 386Enh section of SYSTEM.INI. You probably
should include a statement excluding the same range from EMM386 or whatever
memory manager you use in CONFIG.SYS. | 2 |

Howdy... I think you would be interested in Infini-D 2.5 for the Mac. There
is no DOS or Windows version. It's quite an amazing program.
"Some" of the features:
* Bevel Text
* Timeline based animation sequencer
* Realtime bounding box preview
* Object linking
* Phong Shading
* Ray Tracing
* Bounding Box shading
* Wireframe shading
* Ghourad shading
* Flat shading
* Anti-aliasing (none, low, medium, high)
* Environment maps
* Quicktime support (wrap a QT movie around an object)
* Procedural surfaces
* Composed surfaces (for layering surfaces)
* Alpha channel support
* Import EPS, DXF, and Swivel 3D files
* Export DXF and Swivel 3D files
* Spline based animation
* Animation assistant (for creating smooth movements and other stuff)
* Object morphing (surfaces and bevels morph too)
... And lots more that I can't remember right now...
Anyway, it's not as expensive as some of the other animation/rendering
packages. I think you can get it for around $699 from MacWarehouse.
They also have educational discounts...

is this the KX-P1124 you're talking about? or is there a KX-1124, too?
I'll assume you just forgot the P....
this light is also the power light..... on (not blinking) just means that
the power is turned on. if you look at the panel, it should read
POWER
---------
PAPER OUT
right?
don't know why it would do this, unless you're out of paper, that is.
when you power up the printer, assuming it does have paper, the red power
light (which, when flashing, doubles as paper out) should light, and a few
seconds later, the green ONLINE light should come on.
hope this helps.....

From what I've seen in coursework, most CPUs never actually
"idle". They will continue to service interrupts, etc.,
etc. The clock will always be running at n Mhz no matter
what it's doing.
I suppose depending on the instruction, the CPU may use
circuitry which has more transistors than other
instructions, but if you consider the additional heat
generated by only a handful of additional, tiny resistors
and then spread that heat dissipation over the CPU's
packaging, the change in temperature to the immediate
environment (ie. the surface of the package) will be
negligible.

113 | Yes, but what if my monitor only has 3 BNC's on it, and is expecting
to get a composite sync signal on the "green"? There ought to be a
little black box that takes the VGA signalling (which has horiz, vert,
and composite sync on different pins, plus the R, G, and B pairs) and
merges the green and composite sync together in the output. It's all
1V analog, as far as I know. I can build this with op-amps but I don't
think I can get the shielding done well enough to handle the frequencies
involved without lots of shadows and junk on the screen.
Does anyone know of a VGA->RGB(composite sync on green) converter? | 2 |
6,700 | I have a question about recursive, backward raytracing.
When an incident ray (I) strikes an object at point P, first
the normal (N) is calculated. Light rays are calculated (L1 to Ln
where n is the number of light sources) - these being the light
rays that do not intersect with anything. The reflected ray (R) and
the transmitted ray (T) is calculated from the formulae.
Calling the routine recursively on R and T will return the colours
along the rays (R and T) as rCol and tCol. Each object has its own
colour oCol and each light source has liCol (1 <= i <= n).
The question is:
How do you combine rCol, tCol, oCol and all the liCol's to get
the correct resulting colour to return along the I ray?
All colours are defined as strucures (records) having r, g, b components
between 0 and 1.
If anyone has done this before could you give me a few hints?

I ran into this about six months ago. My system is a GW2000 486DX/66V,
8 megs RAM, 1Meg ATI GUP VLB. It seems the problem is that the ATI

COM1-3 are available. I believe this is documented somewhere in the

I have the 1 meg card with the Crystal Scan 15 inch also. I see very

You don't give the precise error message, but I assume that
the making of the target fails, because make can't find the rules.
We've seen this happen with SunOS 5.x make as well and aat this
point I'm not sure why it happens. It seems to happen
with large Makefiles. The entries near the end get lost.
Small changes in the makefile will remedy this problem,
as it does in your example.
In the MIT R5 distribution + R5.SunOS5.patch this can happen with
the target ``Makefiles'' in one of the doc directories.
This is really weird. Are your *really* sure that you were using GNU make? | 2 |

rewrite 'makedepend' to use 'cc -M' or 'gcc -M' or 'gcc -MM' (which is
the one I prefer, since system headers don't change that often) for
generating the actual dependencies. you'll still need to write the
parts that edit the actual Makefile. I think there's a program in the
Berkeley distributions called mkdep that will do essentially this. | 2 |

there are various BBS's and other similar services avalible (like Compuserve,

approximate order of importance they are:
1) The mail/files/news are read/written locally and batched to the network
server. (ie. no continuous on-line connection)(NOTE: all users are remote
and will use modems over conventional phone lines.)
2) Simple. The users I have for the system have very little computer knowledge
have never heard of Unix, and have very little interest in learning. It is
essential that the client software is completely pain-free.
3) Cheap. We would prefer not paying high connect fees to an established
commercial network, just so we can send large files between members of the
group - hence (1). In addition I would like the network server to be
something small, simple and inexpensive like a 486. (There are only about
40 people in the group, so it is not a huge network.)
4) The capability for Internet access (for news/mail).
5) Internet style id's (eg. pwood@math.uwaterloo.ca)

578 | Hi everybody out there,
I just got the third beta release disk (march 93) of WindowsNT
and still am not able to boot up that system. The final step
achieved is the display of IO-error 0x0069. But, since this is
the beta release of the SDK for NT and not of NT, Microsoft does
not include a manual on the OS itself, explaining what this
error means of what I can do to get rid of. My configuration
is:
Mainboard Hauppauge 4860-25, rev. A7 (a 486 with socket for i860)
28megs of memory (512k*36,1M*36,2M*36)

Syquest 555 removable disk
Toshiba 3301 CD ROM drive
ProAudio Spectrum Plus 16
Longshine Ethernet card LCS8634 (NE2000 comp.)
ET4000 graphics card, 1Meg (ColorImage5)
The system is running fine under DOS and Windows 3.1 etc, but
trying to do the setup for NT,
- automatic setup does not recognize controller (AHA1542-compat.)
when adding manually, NT complains not finging any CD-ROM drive
- the manual setup (WINNT) does not copy everything from CD to HD,
does not recognize controller, but takes it manually.
Setup continues until it tries to boot. Then it starts loading
several stuff from disk (seems to fing the HD), but messing up
with that damned IO-Error 69.
I took away all IO cards not essential, but that did not make any
effect.
Anybody got any ideas? Help would be greatly appreciated. | 2 |
2,946 | My Windows 3.1 installation has somehow gone awry. Whenever I try to run
Windows now, the logo comes up OK, but when it tries to enter Windows
itself, the screen gets totally screwed up as if it's in the wrong

as I can still exit to DOS with an ALT-E RETURN combination.
I tried to reinstall Windows again, but if you recall, halfway through the
installation process, install takes you into Windows and there my graphics
problem surfaces again so I cannot complete the re-installation.
All this started after trying to get a game working on my system but my
config.sys and autoexec.bat have been restored to what they were before
this problem cropped up.

3,185 | I would like to see a serious discussion on the best way to install windows
from a Novell administrator's point of view.
I just got off the phone with MS Access support and was told that they
(Microsoft) has decided to implement, as a standard for software support,
the LOCAL setup (described below) as the "most advantageous installation".
If this is true and Microsoft deems this to be the most prudent installation
then I will comply but I'd like to hear it from administrators first.
The LOCAL Windows Installation:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Windows is fully installed on each workstation hard drive (assuming the
resources are available). From a network administrator's implementation,
he/she would install all windows disks on a network drive using SETUP/A.
Then install windows on a per/machine bases by running SETUP off the network
to install the complete system on the local drives. In this way, all drivers
are available to the SETUP procedure w/o the need to change disks.
Advantages:
- Reduce Traffic - Running Windows locally reduces network traffic due to
the local access of main Windows files.
- Network independence - If the network fails (and they all do at one point
or another), the local installation would allow users to keep producing
and reduce the cost of down-time.
- Faster Windows - Theoretically, Windows will run faster from a local hard
drive than over a network. This may be a hard point to prove if the network
has an optical backbone and/or the network drives are significantly faster
access than local ones.
- A user traveling from machine to machine does not need to worry about
varying setups (monochrome, color, types of mouse, etc...) since the
Windows installation is assigned to the Workstation.
Disadvantages:
- Cost - Installing Windows locally requires a significant amount of disk
space. Workstations now must be purchased with a hard disk that can
increase the cost of the workstation from 10 to 30 percent.
- Administration - Local windows installations are very difficult to
administer.
New drivers for peripherals are constantly being made available, each of
which would have to be individually installed on each workstation.
- Security - Users now have access to erase or corrupt their own system
files from simple ignorance. This could result in quite a headache for
administrators who may have to constantly repair damaged installations.
- Backup - We all know the problems backing up local hard disks. The backup
sets (if done via a centralized tape system) get very large very quickly.
Backup individually (to floppy) may not happen at all. This may be
eliminated if it is assumed that local hard disks only contain replaceable
applications and *not* user data.
The SHARED Windows Installation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Windows is fully installed to a network disk via the SETUP/A procedure
described above. Users (or administrators) then install a minimal set of
files to individual "user" directories. These directories may be on a
local hard disk or perhaps a network "home" directory. The bulk of the
Windows system files are maintained on the network in a single directory
(some 400+ files) and are accessed (shared) as-needed by users throughout
their Windows session. The user's files consist of a small set of files
that the user has updated during his/her Windows session. These include
group files, .INI files and other regularly updated files.
Advantages:
- A single location for all files makes updates to drives easy. As
an updated driver becomes available, it only needs to be installed in this
single directory for all users to be able to take advantage of it.
- Assuming that the users' files are maintained in network (home) directories,
the administrator can easily edit any .INI file as-needed to correct
problems that may arise. This includes WIN.INI and SYSTEM.INI.
- Backup of all pertinent files is done easily. Even if the users' files
are on a local hard disk, the bulk of the Windows system is backed up with
all driver updates.
Disadvantages:
- Network traffic - since all Windows files are being shared in a network
directory, traffic on the network can become a problem an effect the
speed of Windows.
- If the network crashes, all production comes to a stop since Window's
is reliant upon the network for its files. Loss of data usually occurs
as well since users working in Windows at the time of the crash will
usually not be able to save their work.
- Although minimal, disk space is still a consideration. If the users' files
are maintained on the network, a large number of users can cause a
significant utilization of disk space due to their personal Windows
files alone.
- Users cannot easily move from machine to machine unless the workstation
hardware are similar. This is due to the Windows installation being
tied to a particular username (in the case of Network user files).
The Discussion
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I would like to know, from other administrators with a large Windows
userbase, how they prefer setting up Windows. Personally, I have
setup numerous installations using the SHARED setup. All Windows and
application files are on the network with little or no utilization of
local hard disks. In fact, I sold a network on the fact that the
company would no longer need to purchase hard disks for their workstations
and thus save that much more money.
I would also like to see recommendations for applications. Should
apps such as Word and/or Excel be installed locally regardless of how
Windows is installed? Again, I keep all files on the network for easy
backup and administration but this is "putting all eggs in one basket";
if the network crashes, work comes to a halt. | 2 |

that details about hardware configuration, driver, resolution and

I replied:
You answered:
I think it is important to clear up your first reply. You gave the
impression that you should not use smartdrive with stacker. You are
correct re: caching the compressed drive. However, as I understand it,
you can cache the uncompressed drive. Thus if you have compressed your
disk C:, you will have a C and probably a D drive under stacker. C being
the compressed disk (which is just a large file on D:) and D being the
uncompressed disk. You should only attempt to stack D:. In fact, with

It depends on wether you are going to replace this with an icon that
comes standard with windows, or with an icon from some other icon manager.
Well, if it is one of those that comes with windows, just highlight the
item by clicking once on it, click on 'File' and then on 'Properties'.
You should see a box which says 'Change icon'. Click on it. You are going
to be presented with some icons (sometimes just one). If you don't like
any of those presented, click on the 'browse' box, and look for the file
'moricons.dll' Select it. Browse through the icons presented, and just
double click on your desired icon.
If you want to replace it with an icon from some other icon manager,
say iconPower for instance, open the icon manager at the bottom of your
screen, where it will not block the application icon you wish to replace.
When you have found your desired icon, click on it once, and while holding
the mouse button down, pull this icon over the one you wish to change.
And thats it!
regards

: I'm grateful for every clue !
: Thanx and have a nice day !
One way is to use a program called Iconmaster. It's shareware and If you can't
get it mail me, and I'll post it to you.

The colormap element of SetWinAttrib must be a legitimate TrueColor
colormap. So, use XCreateColormap() with the proper visual and use it
in SetWinAttrib (and don't forget the mask!).
And the inevitable caveat: I usually use widgets, setting the visual
and colormap resources rather than direct X routines, so I could be
wrong. But, I think this is the general difficulty. | 2 |

1,239 | I've got an old Super VGA card manufactured by SAMPO of Taiwan and I'm
looking for a Windows 3.1 Driver for it. It's based on the Cirrus Logic
CL-GD510A-32PC-B chip. I've contacted the suppliers here in New Zealand
and they say that only Windows 2 divers were ever written by the manufacturer.
So if there's a V3.1 driver out for this chip set I'd like to know -
preferably by e-mail at rjwjames@waikato.ac.nz
Thanks is advance | 2 |

"Only"?!? That's a long time! (echoing above posting) The way the market
is going nowadays, your machine's obsolete two weeks before you buy it.
Sounds like you'll have to sink *some* money into it for repair, but
that's sometimes necessary for equipment.

I think 21 months with nothing wrong until now is quite reasonable. If
you had bought a Compaq or Toshiba, you might have reasonably expected the
machine to last longer before something went wrong; but that's a moot
point, perhaps.

Look be consistent. First you post something that seems to suggest that you see
xv being an 8 bit program as some sort of error.
So I post and asy it is not a bug, it is meant to be like that.
So you post and say it is not a bug, you never said it was, I have misunderstood
etc.
Now you are saying:
If you would make up your mind what you are claiming it would make the
discussion a *lot* easier.
----------------
Eh? Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying here. I am aware that English is
not your native language and have tried hard to fathom your meaning, but this
paragraph defeats me.
Yes *as I originally said*, global changes are easily possible.
But this statement contradicts what you said earlier:
---------------
No I don't think so actually.
You were talking about loading a 24 bit image into xv (by quantising),
manipulating the colours in the colour editor, then somewhow applying these
changes to the 24 bit file when you exit xv. Xv lets you edit individual
colours. Where is this sudden jumping off the topic?
Yes I am aware there is no colourmap in a 24 bit file!!
I do not understand what this statement is supposed to mean.
???
What are you saying
???
Ah! now we see thew problem! First you want to extend xv to allow editing of 8
bit previews of 24 bit images. Then I point out problems with this. Now you are
saying there is no problem because you, personally, happen not to use those
parts of the program that cause the problem!!
Not sure what you are saying here. Certainly one can make local changes.
Yes that is one possible approach. I would find a program that took such an
approach clumsy, however.
Well here we agree - you have not thought it through very much. You don't seem
to have a consistent point to make and contradict yourself from one post to the
next. OK, we all have off days - perhaps you should step back and think this one
through.
As I said in the last post, JPEG is a compression algorithm. It is a way of
saving disk space by trading off quality against compression. I fail to see what
the problem is. You have not proposed any workable alternatives.
Speak for yourself. You are the *only* person I have met or spoken to who,
having quantised a 24 bit image down to 8 bits, expects this process to somehow
reverse when the file is saved; keeping all modificvations that heve been made
to the 8 bit image palette.
Perhaps that is why you yused the singular?
Look, next time you import a 24 bit image into xv look carefully at the main
control panel - it tells you how many colours have been allocated to the 8 bit
image. XV makes it abundantly clear that you are not editing the original 24 bit
file. You are the *only* person who claims this is confusing.
Is a design error the same as a bug? ;-)
Read my lips. XV is a program for viewing and modifying 8 bit images. It lets
you import other images. It shows, I would say, a good deal of thought about the
human interface. And everyone else seems to use it happily for the purpose it
was designed for. It makes no false claims.
If you would come up with a solid, logical, well argued and lucid description of
precisely how these proposed extensions would work, feel free to post them. So
far, you have not done so.
Argh!! After all this, a comment like that. `Very easily'. OK, go ahead and code it
if it is so easy.
Or alternatively, look up the terms `import' and 'non-reversible transformation'.
I think this is a bit of an exageration.
What you are actually saying is, you got into a lift (elevator, if you are in
the states ;-) ) and mistakenly pressed the down button to go up. Everyone else
had no problem. Now you are trying to sue the manufacturer...
you bet
Mostly. Leaving aside the language issue however, it betrays some very wooly
thinking (as you yourself admit) which is the same in any language. Go think
some more.

With renewed interest in "setting the DISPLAY variable", etc.. I
thought I would post my contribution.
This Perl script is my solution. It trys to be intelligent about
what it's doing so that you should be able to type "rx host.domain.etc",
and get a xterm running on "host.domain.etc", with all the difficult
stuff taken care of.
In theory, this program can do *everything* you ever wanted to do
when you wanted to run a remote command in the background - it
doesn't even need to be an X program. Try a "rx big-machine make"
for instance, for a backgrounded make on the remote "big-machine".
For more details and a full list of features read the README file,
about 20 lines below... All comments welcome.

X Glasgow RX - remote execution of X programs. Version 3.1.7
X
XCopyright 1992 Duncan Sinclair <sinclair@dcs.gla.ac.uk>
X
XTrivial to install, but there's an Imakefile to make it even more trivial.
X
XThe perl script needs some customisation before it is installed, just
Xedit the "rx.pl" file, and read the comments. Once you've done
Xthis you can "xmkmf", then "make install install.man".
X
XFEATURES:
X
X*) Does the right thing for off-site remote execution. Including
X setting up $DISPLAY to include domain names, and passing
X magic cookies, or doing the "xhost" stuff.
X
X*) Allow different remote user name. (rx -l user host ...)
X
X*) Smart quoting of arguments - makes passing wild-cards easy.
X
X*) Custom command execution - link it to "remacs" to get a remote
X emacs command.
X
X*) Automatic xterm options - names the xterm according to hostname,
X and turns on "login shell".
X
X*) Default command is xterm.
X
X*) Propagates X-ish env. variables to remote session - user may
X extend the list of variables to pass.
X
X*) Special handling for bourne shell users.
X
X*) Tries to do remote execution from same directory as local.
X That is, it propagates $PWD, in an intelligent manner.
X
X*) Logs errors in a file.
X
X*) Overall Intelligence (TM) - makes reasoned decisions about what
X you are trying to do, and tries to "do the right thing".
X
X*) Written in Perl, for portability and hackability.
X
XFor more info, read the man page or the source.

X.SH NAME
Xrx,rxterm,r* - remote command, xterm, anything execution
X.SH SYNOPSIS
X.B rx
X[
X.B \-l
X.I username
X]
X.I host
X[
X.I command
X]
X.br
X.B rxterm
X[
X.B \-l
X.I username
X]
X.I host
X[
X.IR args .\|.\|.
X]
X.SH DESCRIPTION
XThe
X.B rx
Xprogram connect to the specified
X.I host
Xand executes the specified
X.I command
Xin the background, returning immediately. To allow the execution
Xof X programs, it copies a number of environmental variables to
Xthe remote session. If you omit
X.IR command ,
Xthen rx will start an xterm on the remote host. The
X.B rxterm
Xvarient starts a remote xterm on a host, and also passes
X.I args
Xto the remote xterm as arguments.
X.PP
XShell metacharacters which are not quoted are interpreted on the local
Xmachine, while quoted metacharacters are interpreted on the remote
Xmachine.
X.PP
XIf the name of the file from which
X.B rx
Xis executed is anything other than ``rx,''
X.B rx
Xtakes this name, stripped on a leading ``r'' as the command
Xto run on the remote host, using any
X.I command
Xparameters as arguments for the remote command.
X.PP
XIf
X.B rx
Xthinks you are using
X.B xauth
Xbased X authorisation, and you are calling to a off-site host, or
Xto a different username, it will attempt to copy an authorization
Xkey to the remote account. Otherwise it will try to use
X.B xhost(1)
Xto grant access to the remote host.
X.SH OPTIONS
X.TP
X.BI \-l " username"
XUse
X.I username
Xas the remote username instead of your local username. In the absence
Xof this option, the remote username is the same as your local username.
X
X.SH ENVIRONMENT
XIf set, the values of PATH, DISPLAY, XENVIRONMENT, XAPPLRESDIR,
XXFILESEARCHPATH, XUSERFILESEARCHPATH, OPENWINHOME, LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
Xand XAUTHORITY are exported to the remote program, unless the
Xremote username is different, or the remote host is off-site, in which
Xcase only DISPLAY is exported, with in all cases any variables named in the
Xvariable RXENV.
X.PP
XThe DISPLAY variable is tweaked as appropriate, to contain as qualified
Xa hostname as is needed.
X.SH DIAGNOSTICS
X.TP
X.IB command ": don't recognise my name."
X.B rx
Xcannot decode the name it has been called under. In this case
Xit prints a warning message, and continues, as normal.
X.TP
X.B "rx: usage: rx [-l username] hostname [args...]"
XThis means it could not decode the arguments given to it.
X.SH AUTHOR
XDuncan Sinclair <sinclair@dcs.glasgow.ac.uk>, July 1992
X.br
XOriginally based on a program with the same name from the
X.B gwm
Xdistribution. To distinguish this "rx" from other programs
Xwith similar names, you should refer to this program as the
X.B Glasgow
X.BR rx .
X.SH "SEE ALSO"
XX(1), rsh(1), xterm(1), xauth(1), xhost(1), gwm(1)
X.SH BUGS
X.B Rx
Xmakes a number of assumptions about the relationship between the
Xlocal user, and the remote one, depending on whether the remote
Xhost is onsite or not, and whether an alternative username was used
Xor not.
X.PP
XIn particular, if either the locally used shell, or the remotely
Xused shell is the standard Bourne Shell,
X.B sh(1)
Xthen strange things are more likely to happen. Especially when
Xit's only one of them.
X.PP
XSometimes quoting can get messed up.
X.PP
XIt's too easy to fool the smarts in
X.B rx
Xto make it believe something that is not true, and fail because of it.
X.PP
XWhen
X.B rx
Xuses
X.B xhost
Xto grant access, the
X.B xhost
Xcommand may fail silently.
X.PP
XIf
X.B rx
Xtries to send to large a command to the remote machine, it will
Xlikely fail with a parse error from csh. If this happens, you
Xwill probably have to reduce the size of the exported environment.

X# remote execution of X programs. Based on a script in an old version of gwm.
X#
X# To install, put rx in your bin and make rxterm a link to it.
X# Some configuration will be necessary, see "CONFIG" comments...
X#
X# More and more this is less and less like the original....
X#
X# Major hacked to work for our(my) set up, and also partly
X# re-written to work with sh, rather than ksh.
X#
X# Maybe I'll turn this into our first zsh script!
X#
X# Looks like it turned into a perl script at some point - big improvement.
X##############################################################################
X# This code tries to be intelligent in the way it works. This means there
X# are tons of implicit assumptions about the environment it is run in.
X# These assumptions are all valid on the machines I use, and in my
X# environment. At the same time, I try to make as few assumptions as possible
X# about the remote machine. Here's a list of all the more tricky ones...
X# *) That the remote machine has csh. (Linux?)
X# *) That $RSHELL = /bin/(k)?sh ==> remote shell = /bin/(k)?sh. (Make same.)
X# *) If remote shell = sh, that $PATH is compatible. (Use csh, etc..)
X# *) I pass a cookie to the remote machine if need be, but does it
X# know what to do with a cookie. (eat it?)
X# *) There must be others...
X##############################################################################
X# Why am I using csh to run the remote commands? Simply because it doesn't
X# interact badly with rsh, and hang waiting for a file descriptor to
X# be closed. I'd rather use zsh, or bash, or even perl, but they are not
X# as universal as csh.

Perhaps all of us hackers have become (ICK) PROFESSIONALS? I have noticed
my and my associates progression from hackers to computer professionals.
It is rather distasteful. It occurs when a series of things happen:
1) one's ego outgrows one's talent/knowledge
2) one's financial situation takes precedence
3) A change in priorities (esp. family) possibly leading to 2)
4) the hacker's attitude makes the shift from "fun" to "work"
5) one's vocation burns away the creativity needed for "the hobby"
or the biggest killer (IMO)
6) one's dreams are (sadly) shattered on the hard rocks of society's
version of reality. Without the dream the motivation dies, without
the motivation the effort seems useless.
Another set of problems stems from our children. While most of us remember
when there were several completely different computer systems, our children
are growing up with just a few choices (MSDOS/Mac/Amiga) and do not enjoy
the diversity we did. I remember the great computer fallout of the early
eighties vividly as I was forced to stop using skills developed for systems
that were now dead. The diversity of systems before then allowed for widely
divergent paradigms. That period forced hackers to continually learn new
systems in the attempt to keep up. Not to mention that if a program was
needed we were forced (in most situations) to write it ourselves as a
commercial offering was just not available. Now our children are being
taught the "user" mentality. As the number of us "old-timers" dwindle we are
not being replaced by the next generation.

There are several CRT-to-film writers around. Agfa has some, they also might
be called Matrix?, and I am pretty sure other companies sell the same
equipment. You might want to talk to any company in your area that does
presentation slides or offers graphics services. They should have those
machines and they might point you to a local vendor. From there on it's all
a question of money. They units are essentially high res CRTs plus a filter
wheel plus a 35mm camera and a computer hook-up.

1,258 | I have uploaded the most recent Windows drivers for the Cirrus GD5426
chip based display cards to the uploads directory at ftp.cica.indiana.edu
(file is 5426dr13.zip). They're very recent, I downloaded them from the
Cirrus BBS (570-226-2365) last night. If you are unable to get them there,
email me and maybe I can upload them to some other sites as well.
I have a local bus based card (VL24 Bitblaster from Micron) but I think
the drivers work with ISA cards (or at least includes drivers for them).
I found the new drivers to be a significant improvement over the 1.2 version,
improving my graphic winmarks (v3.11) by about 2 million (7.77 to 9.88)
although this could be the result of intentional benchmark cheating on
Cirrus's part but I don't think so.
From Steve Gibson's (columnist for Info World) graphic card comparisons
(also found at the cica ftp site under the name winadv.zip) I extracted the
following for the sake of comparison:
Wintach
Winbn3.11 Word Sprsht Cad Paint Overall
Steve's system:
486/33 VLB:
ATI Graphics Ultra Pro 9.33 10.34 20.78 8.28 14.90 13.58
my system -
486sx/33 VLB:
VL24 Bitblaster 9.88 8.65 11.71 18.84 15.40 13.65
Its no Viper, but I think its a hell of a deal at about a third of the cost of
the ATI card and when compared to the other cards included in Gibson's review.
Micron system owner's, I would be interested to hear your opinions on the
DTC 2270VL local bus disk controller. My system came with a Maxtor 7120
drive (120 MB) and at first was only giving me disk winmarks of about 16 Kb/s,
I am now at 22 Kb/s. Is this about as good as it gets? I can't get a Norton's
sysinfo disk reading because the contoller intercepts the calls, at
least that was what the program said.

Nanao: call 1-800-800-5202. Ask for a catalog.

873 | Is there an easy (ie via shell commands) way to tell what the DISPLAY
environment variable is for any given client process? Sometimes I can
get what I want by typing ps -axe if:
a. the client was invoked with a -display argument
or
b. DISPLAY is one of the first few variables defined in the environment
(actually I've never seen b. but it's there to illustrate the type
of thing I'm looking for)
Ultimately I wish to determine the number of displays that are simultaneously
running a given X application.
my system: SunOS 4.1.2 sun4c
thanks for any help,
