It could be enormously improved by incorporating PINT. pint-0.4.tar.gz is on uniwa.uwa.edu.au (130.95.128.1) in /pub/pint PINT: PINT Is Not TWAIN common scanner driver interface for UN*X Copyright (C) 1994 Kenneth Stailey ken@spacenet.com This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

PINT (PINT Is Not TWAIN) is a first stab at a scanner interface with enough flexibility to work with fairly divergent scanners (although currently only SCSI scanners are supported, they are disappointingly divergent especially compared to SCSI disks & tapes). In addition PINT is portable across two pretty divergent versions of UNIX, AIX 3.2 and SunOS 4.1, neither of which comes with scanner support. PINT uses the traditional UNIX character special file interface and supports open/close/read/ioctl operations. Basic workflow for scanning 1. open driver 2. ioctl to get parameters 3. modify parameters 4. ioctl to set parameters 5. ioctl to get "active area" size in pixels 6. read data based on size from scanner 7. close driver Steps 2-4 will alleviate you from having to set every parameter by hand. Steps 5-6 deal with scanners that do not support as much resolution as was specified via the ioctl, and with scanners that do funny things to the size of the image data like pad or truncate it to a byte or word boundary. The PINT ioctl interface as of version 0.3 ioctl(fd, cmd, &arg) where command is: SCAN_GET Get scanner parameters. SCAN_SET Set scanner parameters. these ioctls use the following struct as their argument struct scan_io \{ ulong scan_window_width; /* width in 1/1200ths of an inch */ ulong scan_window_length; /* length in 1/1200ths of an inch */ ushort scan_x_resolution; /* horizontal resolution in dots-per-inch */ ushort scan_y_resolution; /* vertical resolution in dots-per-inch */ ulong scan_x_origin; /* horizontal coordinate of upper left corner */ ulong scan_y_origin; /* vertical coordinate of upper left corner */ uchar scan_image_mode; /* type of image data sent by scanner: */ SIM_BINARY_MONOCHROME - good old black-and-white SIM_DITHERED_MONOCHROME - half-toned monochrome SIM_GRAYSCALE - multibit monochrome SIM_COLOR - "one pass color" SIM_RED SIM_GREEN - red, green or blue filter is applied SIM_BLUE uchar scan_brightness; /* brightness control for those to can do it */ uchar scan_contrast; /* contrast control for those to can do it */ uchar scan_scanner_type; /* type of scanner (read only variable) */ RICOH_IS410 - Ricoh IS410 IBM_2456 - IBM 2456 FUJITSU_M3096G - Fujitsu M3096G HP_SCANJET_IIC - HP Scanjet IIc RICOH_IS50 - Ricoh IS50 UMAX_UC630 - UMAX UC630 UMAX_UG630 - UMAX UG630 RICOH_FS1 - Ricoh FS1 SHARP_JX600 - Sharp JX600 uchar scan_use_adf; /* whether to use Automatic Document Feeder */ \}; SCAN_GET_PIXEL_SIZE Retrieve the scanner's opinion of the size of the activer area in pixels into a structure like this: struct scan_pixel_sizes \{ uint pix_width; uint pix_height; \}; SCAN_PAPER_PUSH First make a blind effort at unloading the ADF with no error return then load the ADF. this ioctl has no arguments I'm sure that many people will take offense to the fixed unit size of 1/1200" of an inch, but I haven't given the issue of multiple/variable units. I don't want to bloat the kernal code for this feature. Probably a library routine for converting from a fixed interal size will be used. Suggestions are welcome. ****************** Using PINT ********************** With the driver and utilities installed and the scanner hooked up you can view the scanner's parameters with "get_scanner". The "set_scanner" utility changes the parameters. The grabscan utility will tranfer image data from the scanner to standard output in PNM format. Try "set_scanner -i m; grabscan > test.pbm" If you have/get all of PBMPLUS installed you can generate images in many graphics formats. A viewer like loadimage, or xv can be used to view the images on screen. \bold{From}: sjhong@kttdx.kotel.co.kr (Hong Sung-Jun) \bold{Subject}: a guestion \bold{To}: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu \bold{Date}: Fri, 2 Dec 94 16:27:16 PST dear anyone I am sorry but I have a question that is not in this field. \ I want to connect info.bellcore.com(192.4.183.10) but I can't .

Hansen, Director The field of HCI--Human-Computer Interaction--is an emerging discipline which has as its goal the aim of making computers easier to use. There are too many examples of systems being difficult to use and therefore either ignored or used incorrectly (sometimes so badly as to exact considerable human suffering!!!). \ Here at Carnegie Mellon, we have recently formed the Human-Computer Interface Institute (HCII), of which I am a charter member. The HCII is a vehicle for conversation and cooperation among those doing research on user interfaces and related human aspects. Members of the Institute come from departments across campus: Computer Science, Psychology, English, Design, and others. This allows the Institute to offer cross-disciplinary research bringing to bear a broad arsenal of methodologies. Many HCII members do work in the psychology of interaction, but the work of the Andrew Consortium is to provide tools that incorporate HCI results and make it easy to produce applications that adhere to good HCI principles. \ During the formative years for the Andrew software, we did considerable research into the user interface. Experiments included over a dozen interfaces for scroll bars and two dozen for menus. Some of the work was summarized in a paper \{Hansen, W. J., C. Haas, "Reading and Writing with Computers: a Framework for Explaining Differences in Performance", \italic{Comm. ACM 31}, 9 (Sept, 1988)\}. It is among those papers available from our ftp site (ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/AUIS/papers/atk/...) or through our web page (http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/atk-ftp/web/andrew-home.h\ tml). The evolving Information Highway has become institutionalized as a set of request-for-proposals for research grants. Despite the fact that the beneficiaries of the Highway are alleged to be humans at the end of each road, most of the funding is aimed at the technical problems of making the highway work. If you feel, as I do, that the emphasis should be on the users of the Highway rather than the asphalt, you may wish to mention to those who got your votes that human-computer interaction is a crucial technology which deserves funding. Here at the consortium our work on the new widgets package will incorporate some of our HCI expertise. In addition to our own work on this package, I will next term direct a class of students at the problem as an exercise in software engineering. For the results, stay tuned. \begindata{bp,558952360} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,558952360} \view{bpv,558952360,1059,0,0}\bold{ }________________________ \section{Software Developments }Andy Plotkin and Rob Ryan, Technical Staff \bold{Have you Picked Up our Latest Bug Fixes?} As most of our users know by now, the 6.3 release of Andrew in C offers new editors for drawings and images, improving your ability to create compound documents. The original Andrew 6.3 was distributed in the contrib/lib section of X.V11R6. Many thanks to our users who pointed out VIBs (very important bugs) in release 6.3. These formed the basis for versions 6.3.1 and 6.3.2. In addition to bug fixes, Andrew 6.3.1 offers support for AFS 3.3 and corrections to build problems and potential coredumps. Upgrade to version 6.3.1 in one of these two ways: 1. A patch is available as pub/AUIS/patches/official/patch.631 on ftp.andrew.cmu.edu (IP 128.2.232.154). When applied to your current auis-6.3 sources, this patch will bring Andrew release 6.3 sources up to date with release 6.3.1. See the README in the pub/AUIS/patches directory then use the following command when applying the patch: \ patch -p < patch.631. Note: Omitting the -p flag will cause the resulting sources to be inconsistent and unusable (broken!!!). \ 2. The directory pub/AUIS/dist-6.3 has six compressed tar files containing the sources for this latest release. See pub/AUIS/dist-6.3/README for instructions on assembling the sources from the tar files. \ Andrew 6.3.2 fixes a potential cause of coredumps when AMS programs are given an invalid address. Upgrade to Andrew 6.3.2 by using 'patch.632' which fixes two files: overhead/mail/lib/parseadd.c and atk/atkvers/atkvers.num. The patch is located in the pub/AUIS/patches/official directory on our ftp server: ftp.andrew.cmu.edu. The README in that directory provides further instructions for applying the patch. \bold{ Members Only C++ Release} We are entering the final stages of our work to convert the Andrew system from C to C++. As we convert the system to this widely-used language, the new version, Andrew 7.2, is being made available to members of the Consortium. (Contact our Assistant Director, AnnMarie Zanger at the Andrew Consortium for information about becoming a member.) Here are a few of the features to look forward to from the Andrew 7 series: \bold{Scrolling Works! }In the past, scrolling backwards in text did not always work when trying to scroll by a distance less than the height of an inset. Now a new API has been introduced for scrolling. It allows a section of your document to be scrolled consistently, especially when insets are involved. The new scrolling scheme means that backward and forward scrolling always work, and always work as expected! \ \ \bold{Dynamic Loading} This feature is a valuable tool for Andrew development since it lets new insets be developed without waiting to re-link the entire system. Dynamic loading also avoids having a separate and huge executable for each application. Implementation of dynamic loading has been the last major piece of the C++ conversion. This latest development makes it possible for code in dynamic objects to call functions in other dynamic objects. This change greatly extends the number of classes which can be dynamically loaded, thus decreasing the size of the main executable. \bold{Progress on Printing} The new PostScript printing system now prints all the standard AUIS objects (text, figure, table, raster) as well as handling insets. Soon it will also be able to handle special text features such as table of contents, index, tags and references, widow/orphan control, and full-page text layout. \bold{Recursive Search} Previously when a document had text in buttons, tables and other embedded objects, text search sometimes could not find it. Now a new search method, "recursive search", has been implemented. A search with this mechanism will find the target string no matter where it is. \subheading{ }__________________________\subheading{ \bigger{New from the Consortium} }Susan Straub, Technical Staff\subheading{ Binary Distribution Packages} Encouraged by the large number of requests for binary distributions, particularly from Linux users, we are now making Andrew 6.3 available in similar formats for a number of popular platforms. Choose from among these four subsets or select the "full" option for all of Andrew: \ \bold{ wp} -basic word-processing system \bold{doc} - the documentation set only \bold{src} - tools for programming \bold{mail} - message system with MIME-compatible messages interface \bold{full} - all of the above, plus other goodies The packages have been created for these five popular system types: \ RS/6000 \ Sun 4C Sparcstation \ HP 720 \ DEC Pmax Linux You can obtain binary packages via anonymous ftp from ftp.andrew.cmu.edu (Internet: 128.2.232.154) in pub/AUIS/bin-dist. The README file in that directory provides information on the contents and on how to proceed. \ The Consortium will also send you a binary package on tape for a nominal fee. (See "Facts on File-Andrew on Tape" for further details.) _____________________________ \bold{\bigger{Enhancements in the Works}} \bold{The Linux Line} Terrence Gliedt, Consultant A new distribution for Linux is coming. As mentioned in the previous section, this will contain several packages (subsets) of Andrew 6.3. You should expect to find these files at \italic{\bold{ftp.andrew.cmu.edu}} in \italic{pub/AUIS/bin-dist/linux} and \italic{\bold{sunsite.unc.edu}} in \italic{pub/Linux/X11/andrew}. The new distribution contains a number of new things: \indent{- Andrew now requires your system to support the QMAGIC executable format (for anyone using a kernel >= 1.0.0). - It is now based on Andrew 6.3.1. - This distribution was built on Slackware 2.0.1. - Another iteration of HTMLTEXT, a WYSIWYG editor for creating HTML documents, is now available (thanks to Robert Kemmetmueller ). - The application \italic{\bold{org}} was added to the \italic{-src} package. - Notes were added in the \italic{README.ez.wp} describing in detail a good \bold{.Xmodmap} for our German friends (thanks to Oliver Mai ). \ - A new shell, \italic{\bold{setpapersize}}, will configure your Andrew to print on A4 paper (thanks to Klaus Fueller and others). You are prompted at install time to choose your paper size. - Printing of German \italic{umlauts} now works properly (thanks to Oliver Mai). - \italic{\bold{ez2ps}} was corrected to use \italic{groff} (thanks to Oliver Mai AGAIN). } Seems there are quite a few Andrew advocates cropping up in Germany these days! Ausgezeichnet! \subheading{Confusion looming} Our friends in the XFree Consortium have released \bold{XFree 3.0} for Linux. This is based on X11R6 and includes drivers for lots of previously unsupported video cards. Unfortunately for X applications, they also decided it was necessary to change the names of the X11 shared libraries. This brings an incompatibility for some Andrew users. All Andrew releases to date have been based on XFree 2.x (X11R5) on the Slackware distributions. This is still true for the coming release. XFree 3.x users will not be able to use this latest Linux distribution, unless they have also installed the older XFree2.x shared libraries. Very soon, a Slackware 2.0.2 upgrade will lead to a conversion to the XFree3.0 distribution. At that time I will re-make Andrew and create a distribution for the new shared libraries. The names of these packages have yet to be set, but it will be obvious what is what. If all else fails, read the README.ez.* files. This confusion will linger for the next few months until we all get converted to XFree3.x. \bold{ The World Wide Web Browser} Tom Neuendorffer, Consultant \ The World Wide Web has become the medium of choice for the dissemination of information on the Internet. So the Andrew Consortium will soon offer a customized Worldwide Web Browser to help you wade through the oceans of information to be found there! The goal of this project is to integrate the AUIS and Web environments as seamlessly as possible, in order to facilitate transference of information both to and from AUIS users. In the process, AUIS should become a first class environment for both accessing and creating Web documents. \ A prototype is currently running which supports two different AUIS HTML objects, one written by Nick Williams of City University and the other by the folks at IBM Rochester. Using the prototype is much like using Mosaic or Netscape, one can download and view documents from the Web simply by clicking on hypertext links embedded in the documents themselves. In addition, weblink objects have been created to allow pointers to remote resources on the web to be included in any Andrew document. Text extensions have also been created so that, if you come across a URL in text, mail, etc , you can view it via a menu command or keystroke. \ As soon as CERN releases it's announced multi-threaded WWW library, I will be integrating that code into a browser that will be made generally available to the AUIS community. \begindata{bp,558823032} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,558823032} \view{bpv,558823032,1060,0,0} ____________________ \bold{\bigger{Member Mentions}} \bold{IBM Contributions to the System} The IBM Corporation continues to play an important role in the development of Andrew. IBM has been a member of the Consortium since its inception, and indeed was a partner with Carnegie Mellon University in originally creating Andrew systems and software. IBM and its many programmers in Rochester, Minnesota continue to improve the system. They then share their enhancements with us and coordinate with our technical staff so that these improvements will ultimately reach you! Here is a "grab bag" of the most recent system enhancements that are the result of IBM contributions and coordination with the Consortium. All of these can be found in Andrew 7.2: Preferences \leftindent{- directory editor to be used can be set by a preference} \leftindent{- added color preferences for the frame message line} \leftindent{- added a preference to skip the "This is the last window" warning dialog} \leftindent{- added an option for textview to display the insertion mark even when not the focus} \leftindent{- added a preference to give textview Mac-like behavior: cutting out the selection if the user types anything} \leftindent{- added a preference to control how much typescript scrolls when it needs to scroll} Bug Fixes \leftindent{- "buffer::GetView" always returns a buffer of the right type} \leftindent{- fixed a bug where a wait-cursor was displayed while a dialog box was up} \leftindent{- "frame::SetBuffer" notifies observers of the change} User Customization \leftindent{- added textview commands to extend the selection} \leftindent{- added textview commands to move the mark based on words delimited only by whitespace} \leftindent{- added attributes to text to set the background color, and to set it differently if the text is readonly} \leftindent{- allowed horizontal scrolling of text} \leftindent{- allow special keyboard keys (page up, etc) to be bound to commands} \leftindent{- allow im to provide the window visibility state and the modifier keys pressed during a mouse click} \begindata{bp,558826008} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,558826008} \view{bpv,558826008,1061,0,0} Other \leftindent{- added "im::Beep" to allow applications to beep} \leftindent{- added "bufferlist::Sort"} \subheading{IBM Working on HTMLTEXT }Building on the work from Nick Williams at City College in London, Robert Kemmetmueller at IBM Rochester, Minnesota has created a new dynamic object called \italic{\bold{htmltext}}. This provides substantially improved editing capabilities in \italic{ez} for \bold{.html} files. It's not quite yet everything you'd want, but its getting there. Terry Gliedt has been using it extensively and recommends it highly. "You're gonna love creating HTML documents with Andrew!" says Terry. This contributed code is available on our ftp server in the pub/AUIS/misc/html.v-\italic{num}.tar.z file. __________________________________________________________________________ \bold{\bigger{Results of the 1994 Survey of Andrew User Interface System Users}} Susan Straub, Technical Staff Every year, the Andrew Consortium gets in touch with its users over the Internet to find out what they think of Andrew. You may have been one of these users: our survey was included in the last issue of The Andrew View. We hope that you participated, but even if you didn't, we would still like to hear from you (see "Facts on File" below for further details). Here is a brief summary of the results, based on responses from a group of Andrew users: \bold{Respondent Sample} This year, we heard from a little over twenty different organizations who told us about themselves and how they use Andrew. They also gave us plenty of suggestions for "future fixes" of the system which we are selectively "attacking". Of the respondents, usage is split between educational organizations (10) and commercial ventures (10). Research institutions (2) and a private home (1) constitute the remainder of the sample. The respondents operate worldwide, residing from Massachusetts to Minnesota, California, Australia, Europe and points inbetween. \ \bold{Andrew Installation Sites} The majority of the respondents have small installations: 14 groups have less than ten users per site. Nine groups have more than ten users, three of which have over 1,000 users on site. \ Like last year, the largest percentage of respondents use Suns, then DECs, HPs and IBMs. Based our small sample, a larger percentage of respondents are using Suns this year than last. The three sites having over 1000 users prefer the following system types: only RS/6000's, only HPs, and a mix of RS/6000, Suns, Ultrix and Vaxen. Other types of machines running Andrew include: Vax 4.3 bsd, SGI, IRIX, Linux and 386/BSD. \ Almost three-fourths of the respondents have the same number of systems running AUIS as they have users. Of the remaining respondents, one-half have more machines than users while the other half have more users than machines. \bold{ }One-third of the respondents indicated that they run AUIS on multiple platforms. \ \bold{How Andrew is Used} When asked how they are using Andrew, over two-thirds told us about usage of both mail/bboard/news groups and document production. Only a handful of respondents said that they were using Andrew for user interface prototyping and development (but we know that there are a whole lot more of you out there). \ Some of the other chief uses for Andrew include: programming, establishing a common user environment across multiple platforms, using NEOS for formatted paper exchange and annotation, using ez as a programmer's editor, obtaining the bush and help features, installing a messages system, and even viewing documents created in WordPerfect . \bold{The Most Commonly Requested Enhancements to Andrew} Top of the list are: more frequent updates, HTML support (it's coming), binary distributions (just released), NNTP, and the addition of Solaris and Linux ports (which has now been done). \ Less frequent but no less appreciated suggestions included: a better X11 programming environment, more WWW involvement, an IMAP-based mail system, a more robust figure editor, a file manager/desktop application, a drag and drop interface, audio support, a Ness tutorial, faster ports, security enhancements, more inset consistency, widget consistency, overall simplification, Motif aesthetics, and the addition of build and port services. And that was just a short list of the many ideas we were able to glean from your responses. A hearty thanks go out to those who participated in this year's survey. _______________ \bold{\bigger{News Feature}} \bold{Assistant Director at Work }In September, AnnMarie Zanger joined the Consortium in the role of Assistant Director.

Andrew runs under X11 and provides a dynamically-loadable object-oriented environment wherein objects can be embedded in one-another. Thus documents can contain not only multiple fonts and other typography, but also embedded raster images, spreadsheets, drawings, equations, simple animations, and so on. These embedded objects may themselves contain other objects, including text. The release includes many objects, including those mentioned above, along with a help browser, a directory browser, a font editor, a system monitoring tool, an editor-based shell interface, and source-text editors for C, C++, Lisp, HTML, Pascal, and other languages. The underlying\italic{ Andrew Toolkit architecture (ATK)} supports cooperation between objects not only for screen display, but also for file storage, cut/paste across windows, an application construction environment, an extension language, and printing. There is full support for programmers to create new objects and new applications. The\italic{ Andrew Message System (AMS)}, a component of Andrew, provides a multi-media interface to mail and bulletin-boards. AMS contains many advanced features including authentication, return receipts, automatic sorting of mail, vote collection and tabulation, enclosures, audit trails of related messages, and subscription management. It also provides a variety of interfaces that support character-based terminals and low-function personal computers in addition to high-function workstations. \ \begindata{bp,559029688} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,559029688} \view{bpv,559029688,1063,0,0} \bold{Andrew-Ready Platforms} Andrew has been used successfully on (at least) these platforms: \ IBM---RT AOS 3.4, RT AIX 2.2.1, RS/6000 AIX3.1, PS/2 AIX1.2 \ SUN---Sun3 3.5, Sun3 4.0, Sun4 4.0, Sun3 4.1, Sun4 4.1, Sun4Mach, Solaris DEC---Vax Ultrix 3.1, Vax Ultrix 4.2, Vax BSD, DEC MIPS, Pmax Mach Other---HP, SCO I386, SGI IRIX 4.0, Apollo, Macintosh II, MacMach, 486 Mach, Telmat, Linux \bold{Remote Demo Service} Try out Andrew from your own work station via the Remote Andrew Demo Service.

Hansen, Director The field of HCI--Human-Computer Interaction--is an emerging discipline which has as its goal the aim of making computers easier to use. There are too many examples of systems being difficult to use and therefore either ignored or used incorrectly (sometimes so badly as to exact considerable human suffering!!!). \ Here at Carnegie Mellon, we have recently formed the Human-Computer Interface Institute (HCII), of which I am a charter member. The HCII is a vehicle for conversation and cooperation among those doing research on user interfaces and related human aspects. Members of the Institute come from departments across campus: Computer Science, Psychology, English, Design, and others. This allows the Institute to offer cross-disciplinary research bringing to bear a broad arsenal of methodologies. Many HCII members do work in the psychology of interaction, but the work of the Andrew Consortium is to provide tools that incorporate HCI results and make it easy to produce applications that adhere to good HCI principles. \ During the formative years for the Andrew software, we did considerable research into the user interface. Experiments included over a dozen interfaces for scroll bars and two dozen for menus. Some of the work was summarized in a paper \{Hansen, W. J., C. Haas, "Reading and Writing with Computers: a Framework for Explaining Differences in Performance", \italic{Comm. ACM 31}, 9 (Sept, 1988)\}. It is among those papers available from our ftp site (ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/AUIS/papers/atk/...) or through our web page (http://www.cs.cmu.edu:8001/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/atk-ftp/web/andrew-home.h\ tml). The evolving Information Highway has become institutionalized as a set of request-for-proposals for research grants. Despite the fact that the beneficiaries of the Highway are alleged to be humans at the end of each road, most of the funding is aimed at the technical problems of making the highway work. If you feel, as I do, that the emphasis should be on the users of the Highway rather than the asphalt, you may wish to mention to those who got your votes that human-computer interaction is a crucial technology which deserves funding. Here at the consortium our work on the new widgets package will incorporate some of our HCI expertise. In addition to our own work on this package, I will next term direct a class of students at the problem as an exercise in software engineering. For the results, stay tuned. \begindata{bp,559059560} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,559059560} \view{bpv,559059560,1070,0,0}\bold{ }________________________ \section{Software Developments }Andy Plotkin and Rob Ryan, Technical Staff \bold{Have you Picked Up our Latest Bug Fixes?} As most of our users know by now, the 6.3 release of Andrew in C offers new editors for drawings and images, improving your ability to create compound documents. The original Andrew 6.3 was distributed in the contrib/lib section of X.V11R6. Many thanks to our users who pointed out VIBs (very important bugs) in release 6.3. These formed the basis for versions 6.3.1 and 6.3.2. In addition to bug fixes, Andrew 6.3.1 offers support for AFS 3.3 and corrections to build problems and potential coredumps. Upgrade to version 6.3.1 in one of these two ways: 1. A patch is available as pub/AUIS/patches/official/patch.631 on ftp.andrew.cmu.edu (IP 128.2.232.154). When applied to your current auis-6.3 sources, this patch will bring Andrew release 6.3 sources up to date with release 6.3.1. See the README in the pub/AUIS/patches directory then use the following command when applying the patch: \ patch -p < patch.631. Note: Omitting the -p flag will cause the resulting sources to be inconsistent and unusable (broken!!!). \ 2. The directory pub/AUIS/dist-6.3 has six compressed tar files containing the sources for this latest release. See pub/AUIS/dist-6.3/README for instructions on assembling the sources from the tar files. \ Andrew 6.3.2 fixes a potential cause of coredumps when AMS programs are given an invalid address. Upgrade to Andrew 6.3.2 by using 'patch.632' which fixes two files: overhead/mail/lib/parseadd.c and atk/atkvers/atkvers.num. The patch is located in the pub/AUIS/patches/official directory on our ftp server: ftp.andrew.cmu.edu. The README in that directory provides further instructions for applying the patch. \bold{ Members Only C++ Release} We are entering the final stages of our work to convert the Andrew system from C to C++. As we convert the system to this widely-used language, the new version, Andrew 7.2, is being made available to members of the Consortium. (Contact our Assistant Director, AnnMarie Zanger at the Andrew Consortium for information about becoming a member.) Here are a few of the features to look forward to from the Andrew 7 series: \bold{Scrolling Works! }In the past, scrolling backwards in text did not always work when trying to scroll by a distance less than the height of an inset. Now a new API has been introduced for scrolling. It allows a section of your document to be scrolled consistently, especially when insets are involved. The new scrolling scheme means that backward and forward scrolling always work, and always work as expected! \ \ \bold{Dynamic Loading} This feature is a valuable tool for Andrew development since it lets new insets be developed without waiting to re-link the entire system. Dynamic loading also avoids having a separate and huge executable for each application. Implementation of dynamic loading has been the last major piece of the C++ conversion. This latest development makes it possible for code in dynamic objects to call functions in other dynamic objects. This change greatly extends the number of classes which can be dynamically loaded, thus decreasing the size of the main executable. \bold{Progress on Printing} The new PostScript printing system now prints all the standard AUIS objects (text, figure, table, raster) as well as handling insets. Soon it will also be able to handle special text features such as table of contents, index, tags and references, widow/orphan control, and full-page text layout. \bold{Recursive Search} Previously when a document had text in buttons, tables and other embedded objects, text search sometimes could not find it. Now a new search method, "recursive search", has been implemented. A search with this mechanism will find the target string no matter where it is. \subheading{ }__________________________\subheading{ \bigger{New from the Consortium} }Susan Straub, Technical Staff\subheading{ Binary Distribution Packages} Encouraged by the large number of requests for binary distributions, particularly from Linux users, we are now making Andrew 6.3 available in similar formats for a number of popular platforms. Choose from among these four subsets or select the "full" option for all of Andrew: \ \bold{ wp} -basic word-processing system \bold{doc} - the documentation set only \bold{src} - tools for programming \bold{mail} - message system with MIME-compatible messages interface \bold{full} - all of the above, plus other goodies The packages have been created for these five popular system types: \ RS/6000 \ Sun 4C Sparcstation \ HP 720 \ DEC Pmax Linux You can obtain binary packages via anonymous ftp from ftp.andrew.cmu.edu (Internet: 128.2.232.154) in pub/AUIS/bin-dist. The README file in that directory provides information on the contents and on how to proceed. \ The Consortium will also send you a binary package on tape for a nominal fee. (See "Facts on File-Andrew on Tape" for further details.) _____________________________ \bold{\bigger{Enhancements in the Works}} \bold{The Linux Line} Terrence Gliedt, Consultant A new distribution for Linux is coming. As mentioned in the previous section, this will contain several packages (subsets) of Andrew 6.3. You should expect to find these files at \italic{\bold{ftp.andrew.cmu.edu}} in \italic{pub/AUIS/bin-dist/linux} and \italic{\bold{sunsite.unc.edu}} in \italic{pub/Linux/X11/andrew}. The new distribution contains a number of new things: \indent{- Andrew now requires your system to support the QMAGIC executable format (for anyone using a kernel >= 1.0.0). - It is now based on Andrew 6.3.1. - This distribution was built on Slackware 2.0.1. - Another iteration of HTMLTEXT, a WYSIWYG editor for creating HTML documents, is now available (thanks to Robert Kemmetmueller ). - The application \italic{\bold{org}} was added to the \italic{-src} package. - Notes were added in the \italic{README.ez.wp} describing in detail a good \bold{.Xmodmap} for our German friends (thanks to Oliver Mai ). \ - A new shell, \italic{\bold{setpapersize}}, will configure your Andrew to print on A4 paper (thanks to Klaus Fueller and others). You are prompted at install time to choose your paper size. - Printing of German \italic{umlauts} now works properly (thanks to Oliver Mai). - \italic{\bold{ez2ps}} was corrected to use \italic{groff} (thanks to Oliver Mai AGAIN). } Seems there are quite a few Andrew advocates cropping up in Germany these days! Ausgezeichnet! \subheading{Confusion looming} Our friends in the XFree Consortium have released \bold{XFree 3.0} for Linux. This is based on X11R6 and includes drivers for lots of previously unsupported video cards. Unfortunately for X applications, they also decided it was necessary to change the names of the X11 shared libraries. This brings an incompatibility for some Andrew users. All Andrew releases to date have been based on XFree 2.x (X11R5) on the Slackware distributions. This is still true for the coming release. XFree 3.x users will not be able to use this latest Linux distribution, unless they have also installed the older XFree2.x shared libraries. Very soon, a Slackware 2.0.2 upgrade will lead to a conversion to the XFree3.0 distribution. At that time I will re-make Andrew and create a distribution for the new shared libraries. The names of these packages have yet to be set, but it will be obvious what is what. If all else fails, read the README.ez.* files. This confusion will linger for the next few months until we all get converted to XFree3.x. \bold{ The World Wide Web Browser} Tom Neuendorffer, Consultant \ The World Wide Web has become the medium of choice for the dissemination of information on the Internet. So the Andrew Consortium will soon offer a customized Worldwide Web Browser to help you wade through the oceans of information to be found there! The goal of this project is to integrate the AUIS and Web environments as seamlessly as possible, in order to facilitate transference of information both to and from AUIS users. In the process, AUIS should become a first class environment for both accessing and creating Web documents. \ A prototype is currently running which supports two different AUIS HTML objects, one written by Nick Williams of City University and the other by the folks at IBM Rochester. Using the prototype is much like using Mosaic or Netscape, one can download and view documents from the Web simply by clicking on hypertext links embedded in the documents themselves. In addition, weblink objects have been created to allow pointers to remote resources on the web to be included in any Andrew document. Text extensions have also been created so that, if you come across a URL in text, mail, etc , you can view it via a menu command or keystroke. \ As soon as CERN releases it's announced multi-threaded WWW library, I will be integrating that code into a browser that will be made generally available to the AUIS community. \begindata{bp,559065832} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,559065832} \view{bpv,559065832,1071,0,0} ____________________ \bold{\bigger{Member Mentions}} \bold{IBM Contributions to the System} The IBM Corporation continues to play an important role in the development of Andrew. IBM has been a member of the Consortium since its inception, and indeed was a partner with Carnegie Mellon University in originally creating Andrew systems and software. IBM and its many programmers in Rochester, Minnesota continue to improve the system. They then share their enhancements with us and coordinate with our technical staff so that these improvements will ultimately reach you! Here is a "grab bag" of the most recent system enhancements that are the result of IBM contributions and coordination with the Consortium. All of these can be found in Andrew 7.2: Preferences \leftindent{- directory editor to be used can be set by a preference} \leftindent{- added color preferences for the frame message line} \leftindent{- added a preference to skip the "This is the last window" warning dialog} \leftindent{- added an option for textview to display the insertion mark even when not the focus} \leftindent{- added a preference to give textview Mac-like behavior: cutting out the selection if the user types anything} \leftindent{- added a preference to control how much typescript scrolls when it needs to scroll} Bug Fixes \leftindent{- "buffer::GetView" always returns a buffer of the right type} \leftindent{- fixed a bug where a wait-cursor was displayed while a dialog box was up} \leftindent{- "frame::SetBuffer" notifies observers of the change} User Customization \leftindent{- added textview commands to extend the selection} \leftindent{- added textview commands to move the mark based on words delimited only by whitespace} \leftindent{- added attributes to text to set the background color, and to set it differently if the text is readonly} \leftindent{- allowed horizontal scrolling of text} \leftindent{- allow special keyboard keys (page up, etc) to be bound to commands} \leftindent{- allow im to provide the window visibility state and the modifier keys pressed during a mouse click} \begindata{bp,559068664} Version 2 n 0 \enddata{bp,559068664} \view{bpv,559068664,1072,0,0} Other \leftindent{- added "im::Beep" to allow applications to beep} \leftindent{- added "bufferlist::Sort"} \subheading{IBM Working on HTMLTEXT }Building on the work from Nick Williams at City College in London, Robert Kemmetmueller at IBM Rochester, Minnesota has created a new dynamic object called \italic{\bold{htmltext}}. This provides substantially improved editing capabilities in \italic{ez} for \bold{.html} files. It's not quite yet everything you'd want, but its getting there. Terry Gliedt has been using it extensively and recommends it highly. "You're gonna love creating HTML documents with Andrew!" says Terry. This contributed code is available on our ftp server in the pub/AUIS/misc/html.v-\italic{num}.tar.z file. __________________________________________________________________________ \bold{\bigger{Results of the 1994 Survey of Andrew User Interface System Users}} Susan Straub, Technical Staff Every year, the Andrew Consortium gets in touch with its users over the Internet to find out what they think of Andrew. You may have been one of these users: our survey was included in the last issue of The Andrew View. We hope that you participated, but even if you didn't, we would still like to hear from you (see "Facts on File" below for further details). Here is a brief summary of the results, based on responses from a group of Andrew users: \bold{Respondent Sample} This year, we heard from a little over twenty different organizations who told us about themselves and how they use Andrew. They also gave us plenty of suggestions for "future fixes" of the system which we are selectively "attacking". Of the respondents, usage is split between educational organizations (10) and commercial ventures (10). Research institutions (2) and a private home (1) constitute the remainder of the sample. The respondents operate worldwide, residing from Massachusetts to Minnesota, California, Australia, Europe and points inbetween. \ \bold{Andrew Installation Sites} The majority of the respondents have small installations: 14 groups have less than ten users per site. Nine groups have more than ten users, three of which have over 1,000 users on site. \ Like last year, the largest percentage of respondents use Suns, then DECs, HPs and IBMs. Based our small sample, a larger percentage of respondents are using Suns this year than last. The three sites having over 1000 users prefer the following system types: only RS/6000's, only HPs, and a mix of RS/6000, Suns, Ultrix and Vaxen. Other types of machines running Andrew include: Vax 4.3 bsd, SGI, IRIX, Linux and 386/BSD. \ Almost three-fourths of the respondents have the same number of systems running AUIS as they have users. Of the remaining respondents, one-half have more machines than users while the other half have more users than machines. \bold{ }One-third of the respondents indicated that they run AUIS on multiple platforms. \ \bold{How Andrew is Used} When asked how they are using Andrew, over two-thirds told us about usage of both mail/bboard/news groups and document production. Only a handful of respondents said that they were using Andrew for user interface prototyping and development (but we know that there are a whole lot more of you out there). \ Some of the other chief uses for Andrew include: programming, establishing a common user environment across multiple platforms, using NEOS for formatted paper exchange and annotation, using ez as a programmer's editor, obtaining the bush and help features, installing a messages system, and even viewing documents created in WordPerfect . \bold{The Most Commonly Requested Enhancements to Andrew} Top of the list are: more frequent updates, HTML support (it's coming), binary distributions (just released), NNTP, and the addition of Solaris and Linux ports (which has now been done). \ Less frequent but no less appreciated suggestions included: a better X11 programming environment, more WWW involvement, an IMAP-based mail system, a more robust figure editor, a file manager/desktop application, a drag and drop interface, audio support, a Ness tutorial, faster ports, security enhancements, more inset consistency, widget consistency, overall simplification, Motif aesthetics, and the addition of build and port services. And that was just a short list of the many ideas we were able to glean from your responses. A hearty thanks go out to those who participated in this year's survey. _______________ \bold{\bigger{News Feature}} \bold{Assistant Director at Work }In September, AnnMarie Zanger joined the Consortium in the role of Assistant Director.

I'd really like to see it so that "make > World" doesn't touch *anything* in ANDREWDIR - that shouldn't happen > until I do "make install" or something. By setting BASEDIR, and leaving DEFAULT_ANDREWDIR_ENV as is you can initially install AUIS in a directory other than where it will finally be run from. You can then use tar, mv or other tools to move the new binaries to their final resting place. It would be fairly simple to write a new target in the top-level Imakefile to do the move automatically, something like: finalinstall: $(RM) -r DEFAULT_ANDREWDIR_ENV mkdir DEFAULT_ANDREWDIR_ENV (cd $(BASEDIR);tar cf - .)|(cd DEFAULT_ANDREW_ENV;tar xf -) (I haven't tested that...)

Before doing any building, you need to create Makefiles from Imakefiles. This is done with the command make Makefiles \ in a parent directory; the result is to build a Makefile in the current directory and all subdirectories. (The topmost Makefile has to be created with `genmake` [if some version of AUIS is already installed] or the 'imake ...' command line given in the README.) To build without installing, use the command \ make All \ in any AUIS build tree directory; it will do all compilations in that directory and subdirectories. We recommend building dependencies before building; this is done with make dependAll After having made the system, it can be installed with make Install Below is a complete list of the make targets which process the current directory and all subordinate directories in the subtree. (In parentheses is the list of targets to perform the same effect on only the local directory and not its subdirectories. The capitalized form can be used in directories that do not have subdirectories and will process just the local directory.) (Most of this is in the README, but some is missing.)

So, figuring I wanted the latest and greatest fonts, I went back to ftp.andrew.cmu.edu and picked up /pub/AUIS/misc/Xnewsfonts.tar.Z. I counted the number of fonts in that file, which was only 41. I had 109 Xnews fonts under AUIS 5.1. Why the big difference? I noticed too, that when I use the new fonts, my MenuBar which which previously had a nice looking Andy14 font, had a much cheezier looking font. I'll stick with the old fonts and the new software for now, but does anyone know what the scoop is?

What > have I done wrong? Probably nothing. I believe this is a symptom of having one of the openwin font directories before the AUIS font directory. Unfortunately the icon12 in AUIS font apparently causes a name clash with an openwindows font. The easiest solution is to use: xset +fp $ANDREWDIR/Xnewsfonts (or X11fonts, I'm not sure how they get built or installed nowdays.) \ Unfortunately this could screw up some openwindows applications if they actually want to use their icon12. -Rob Ryan Andrew consortium \bold{Date}: Fri, 16 Dec 1994 07:31:21 -0500 (EST) \bold{From}: Robert Andrew Ryan \bold{To}: Info-Andrew , Bill Schell \bold{Subject}: Re: small number of Open Windows fonts for AUIS 6.3.1.

I suspect that the switch to using iso8859 fonts by default occurred somewhere between 5.1 and 6.3.1. This means that instead of providing fonts like Andy14 they are aliased to fonts supplied with the standard X distribution. \ -Rob Ryan Andrew Consortium \bold{Date}: Fri, 16 Dec 1994 07:52:31 -0500 (EST) \bold{From}: Robert Andrew Ryan \bold{To}: Info-Andrew , "Dan Menchaca" \bold{Subject}: Re: Mac/UNIX question(s) Excerpts from internet.other.info-andrew: 15-Dec-94 Mac/UNIX question(s) "Dan Menchaca"@quickmail (324) > Is the Unix port for the Mac for MachTen?

I don't know if the MacMach referred to in our documentation is related to Tenon's MachTen. Assuming that they are related or are both very similar to BSD-Unix such a port shouldn't be very difficult. (See auis-6.3.1/config/Porting for information on porting AUIS to a new architecture/OS.)

How is AUIS similiar/different than OpenDoc and OPF? \ I'm not very familiar with OpenDoc and I haven't heard of OPF. AUIS is a toolkit for creating GUI's and a suite of applications built using that toolkit. The toolkit supports embedding of objects, with an ASCII mailable storage format. (In the ideal, in reality some of the objects write ASCII datastream which is not universally mailable, or use characters outside of ASCII.)

A port to any non-32bit and/or a segmented architecture would be challenging. The window system layer is designed to be reasonably portable to window systems besides X. The whole toolkit is permeated with Unixisms.

I used to go to emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu to get the tar'ed up binaries. Where do I go now? Ideally, I would like to ftp to a host, grab a binary, untar it, configure Andrew, and let it be. Are tar files still prepared that way? (I'll be grabbing the SPARC-2 binaries.)

The easiest solution This has been a problem for years. Surely the simplest solution would be to rename the AUIS font to be something like "auisicon12"? A grep through the sources would allow any explicit references to "icon12" to be changed in a few minutes, and sites which have local sources referencing "icon12" could still use whatever workarounds they currently use.

I just installed the AUIS 6.3 S2 binaries (for SunOS 4.1). Everything looks like its running great. Just one tiny-weenie little interface problem: My text caret (in typescript, ez, messages...) is a black circle with 2 check marks. My mouse cursor is a little hand with a finger clicking on the left mouse button. I get something I can only describe as Egyption hieroglyphics when the wait cursor should be visible. Obviously, this is a font problem. Using xset, I see that I have only two font directories defined: /usr/openwin/lib/fonts,/usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/ I carefully followed the installation notes, so I'm not sure what went wrong. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. - Anthony \bold{Date}: Mon, 19 Dec 1994 15:43:52 -0500 (EST) \bold{From}: Anthony Edwards \bold{To}: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu \bold{Subject}: where's ctext & console?

I believe the balance of ATK is in the -src package. Contrary to the possible intepretation of the name it doesn't contain the AUIS source code. The -full package has a complete installation in one (20M) package. -Rob Ryan Andrew Consortium \bold{Date}: Wed, 28 Dec 1994 23:37:25 -0500 \bold{From}: hodgesw@source.asset.com (William M.
