This seems to be because Andrew uses "PolyText8" X protocol requests to draw strings, and xterm uses "ImageText8" to draw strings. "PolyText8" is a much more general request than "ImageText8", and apparently underoptimized in the OW server. As far as I can see in traces of the typescript tool, Andrew doesn't use the more general facilities of the "PolyText8" request, and could use the simpler and more-likely-to-be-optimized "ImageText8" request instead. That is, Andrew seems only to draw one TEXTITEM at a time, they always seem to be strings (never offsets or fonts), and they always seem to use the same font. It would seem possible to change the call to XDrawString in atk/basics/x/xgraphic.c to a call to XDrawImageString, without disturbing anything. We'd still revert to XDrawText (and thus PolyText8), when drawing complicated fonts, but would win on drawing simple fixed-width fonts. Any quarrels with this analysis?

I'll probably still be feeling guilty about writing such code 20 years from now.) NewString should probably return NULL when given a NULL parameter. (Some might argue that NewString is like strlen and the behavior when passed NULL is undefined.) There is no equivalent to FreeString. The assumption is that free will do the job. I suppose one could argue against that approach. So why does everybody write their own version of NewString? Probably because few programmers know of NewString's existence. Also, it may have to be added to the globals table so it can be called from dynamically loaded code. There are occasions when I don't want to link against libutil.a because it has other grody stuff I don't want to link into my programs.

This works well when using a font where the width of each character in the font encompasses all the bits of the font (thus there is no overlapping of character bounding boxes). This is not the case for most of the fonts that we use and thus DrawImageText would often eliminate portions of other characters. One could say that this isn't the case for typescript where you are using a fixed width font, but some people don't use a fixed width font in typescript and to special case drawing of text in this way will probably be difficult.

Am I missing something? I would think that if AMS_MailCollectionCommand (and apparently PersonalMailCollectionCommand as well) is set, that the system shouldn't collect from /usr/spool/mail/joeuser *at all*. In ams/libs/ms/mungenew.c, I find: if (homeUsesAMSDelivery < 0) { char SpoolFileName[1 + MAXPATHLEN], *HomeBox, *SpoolFile; int numfound; /* Only convert /usr/spool/mail-type stuff if we're checking our person$ HomeBox = GetPersonalMailbox(); sprintf(SpoolFileName, "%s/Mailbox", home); if (strcmp(HomeBox, SourceDir) == 0 || strcmp(SpoolFileName, SourceDir)$ SpoolFile = getenv("MAIL"); if (SpoolFile == NULL || *SpoolFile == '\0') SpoolFile = getprofile$ if (SpoolFile == NULL || *SpoolFile == '\0') { sprintf(SpoolFileName, "%s/%s", AMS_MailBoxPrefix, Me); } else { strcpy(SpoolFileName, SpoolFile); } mserrcode = ConvertIncomingMail(SpoolFileName, SourceDir, &numfound$ if (mserrcode) return (mserrcode); } } if (PersonalMailCollectionCommand) { int syscode; syscode = system(PersonalMailCollectionCommand); if (syscode) { char ErrorText[100+MAXPATHLEN]; sprintf(ErrorText, "Personal mail collection command %s failed with$ NonfatalBizarreError(ErrorText); AMS_RETURN_ERRCODE(EMSBOGUS, EIN_SYSTEM, EVIA_PROCNEWMSGS); } } if (AMS_MailCollectionCommand) { int syscode; syscode = system(AMS_MailCollectionCommand); if (syscode) { char ErrorText[100+MAXPATHLEN]; sprintf(ErrorText, "System mail collection command %s failed with c$ NonfatalBizarreError(ErrorText); AMS_RETURN_ERRCODE(EMSBOGUS, EIN_SYSTEM, EVIA_PROCNEWMSGS); } } Shouldn't the initial conditional change from if (homeUsesAMSDelivery < 0) { to if (homeUsesAMSDelivery < 0 && ( ! (PersonalMailCollectionCommand || AMS_MailCollectionCommand) )) { Also, just what is "PersonalMailCollectionCommand" anyway? It seems to be redundant given AMS_MailCollectionCommand, and I haven't seen mention of it in any docs. The scenario is that I run Messages on my diskless workstation, and mail physically resides on another machine. I want to safely collect mail from my mailbox there into ~/Mailbox, rather than take the chance of AMS on my workstation and binmail on the server stomping on each other. The server's /usr/spool/mail is mounted on my workstation because I've just been taking the chance, and also so that I can use "from" and any of a variety of xbiffy programs. But even when I specify AMS_MailCollectionCommand, /usr/spool/mail/datri gets read and truncated before my MailCollectionCommand gets run, so the latter never actually gets to do its thing. The only way I see to work around this without changing the source and rebuilding (ugggh) is to not have /usr/spool/mail from the server pointed to by the local /usr/spool/mail, but that's ugly, and it really should work as I've described.

But certainly your desire to not have it read from /usr/spool/mail/xxx is reasonable in the circumstances, and there should at least be a way to do it. Is there anyone out there who would be unhappy if the existence of a configured mail collection command meant that the automatic checking of /usr/spool/mail/xxx was turned off? BTW, the reason there's a personal mail collection command is that sometimes it makes sense for individuals to be able to customize this behavior. AMS_MailCollectionCommand, set in AndrewSetup, affects the whole site, while PersonalMailCollectionCommand is user-specific. The latter turns out to have been useful for some people at Bellcore who receive mail on one machine and read it on a workstation, because this is not the "universal" situation at Bellcore. (There is NO universal situation at Bellcore; we have the most fragmented system I've ever imagined...) Anyway, at the very least there should be an option to NOT check /usr/spool/mail/XXX to improve your situation, and possibly it should never be checked when one of the two mail collection commands is set. I have no strong opinion on that one, but other people might. -- Nathaniel \enddata{text822, 29429} \begindata{text822, 32094} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po9.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-strip.dl) ID ; Mon, 10 Sep 90 12:30:45 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Mon, 10 Sep 90 12:29:14 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Received: from sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id ; Mon, 10 Sep 90 12:07:27 EDT Received: from vax.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk by sun2.nsfnet-relay.ac.uk with SMTP inbound id aa01891; Mon, 10 Sep 90 11:43:09 +0000 Received: from ean-relay.ac.uk by vax.NSFnet-Relay.AC.UK via Ethernet with SMTP id aa03291; 10 Sep 90 12:05 BST Received: from bmads.ucl.ac.uk by Ean-Relay.AC.UK via Janet with NIFTP id aa04419; 10 Sep 90 13:35 BST Date: Mon, 10 Sep 90 12:40 BST From: Ian Rumford To: "info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu"@ean-relay.ac.uk Subject: Systems management Does Andrew have a systems management tools in the same vien as Athena's Moira? \enddata{text822, 32094} \begindata{text822, 33462} X-Andrew-Authenticated-As: 469;andrew.cmu.edu;Craig F.

If you define it as, say, /tmp/dogs, then AMS's efforts to incorporate the messages in /tmp/dogs/datri will come to nothing. (Or, for that matter, change the MAIL environment variable to be other than /usr/spool/mail/datri--but if that env vbl is used elsewhere and you set it elsewhere, you might screw up some other program like xbiff.) You can do a lot with AndrewSetup. But yes, I'd agree that a personal (or site-wide) mail-collection command should probably override the /usr/spool/mail conversion thingy. In addition, if the current stuff that reads from /usr/spool/mail/userid can be improved, wouldn't that be a good idea too?

The im_SetGeometrySpec() class procedure can be called prior to creating a new window and sent a string with a standard X style geometry spec. This will allow window size and placement. \quotation{ - restrict an object from resizing (in celview ??) }Not Supported. The philosphy is that the parent or user should always have control of this. \quotation{ - get the position of the end of text in an text object }\quotation{ (in screen coordinates) }I would like to think that most applications wouldn't need this (if you need an inset at the end of text, just insert one there). However, you can look at the code for textview__Locate to see how you can call textview_LineRedraw to inform you of things like this. \quotation{ - set the insert position in a text object }The text object has no notion of "insert position". Textviews have the Dot position, where characters typed at the keyboard (or inserted with the textview_self_insert procedure) will be entered. It can be set with textview_SetDotPosition. \quotation{ - restrict the menu cards to display only desired entries }A parent view can do this to the child view if it knows what menus to delete by creating a menulist with NULL proctable entries and the same menu strings as the child. See the \italic{menulist} documentation in $ANDREWDIR/doc/basics. Also see the 'bind' documentation, which offers a simplified way to create menulists. If you aren't writing your own parent views, but are using Adew, you can ask ask the celview to override its child's menus for you. A simple example that deletes the "Page,Next Page" menu from a child text would include the following: /* user code begins here for includes */ #include #include static struct menulist *tm; /* create a null binding for the "Next Page" menu entry */ static struct bind_Description Bindings[]=\{ \{NULL,NULL,0,"Page,Next Page", 0,0,NULL,NULL\}, NULL \}; /* user code ends here for includes */ /* user code begins here for InitializeClass */ \{ /* link the binding to a static menu list */ struct classinfo *textviewtype = class_Load("textview"); tm = menulist_New(); bind_BindList(Bindings, NULL , tm, textviewtype); \} /* user code ends here for InitializeClass */ /* user code begins here for testmen_go */ /* Ask the celview to override the child's menus */ celview_SetMenulist(celview_GetCelviewFromView(self->text_1View),tm); /* user code ends here for testmen_go */ See the Adew reference manual. \quotation{ - get the ATK, patchlevel 6, to run on a VAXstation with }\quotation{ Ultrix-32 } What problems are you having? \quotation{ - get a description of the available methods and objects (please don't tell me to RTFM, we ordered N.Borenstein's book, but we have to wait, and - of course - are in a hurry :-() } There is a lot of stuff in /usr/andy/doc and /usr/andy/help.

Many of the fields had several-dozen-character formulae in them. It was big. I edited it, played around with it, was satisfied that everything was correct. To be safe, I then saved it and opened a new copy of table and edited it. It was trashed. What had happened was that at some point, it had broken the line for the row, and started again on the next line. It had broken it in the middle of a formula, so the whole second line (for each "first line") was nonsense. If I pruned back the number of columns, eventually it would load correctly. I checked under the vax_3.0 systype (Version 7.0, ATK 11.0) and it also had the same failing. My question: Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is this a known bug?

(2410)} \quotation{ I need some help fast. I have built some hardware and wrote some }\quotation{software to send a voice files (voice mail) to AMS. I have made sure }\quotation{that the subject has a unique (sort of) word 'voice-file'. As soon as }\quotation{I click in messages this file, I would like the contents to be sent to }\quotation{my 'playback' application. 'playback' is a C program. } So far as I can see, there two ways to do this without modifying messages. What you need is a hook that gets called when you select a message from the captions window. You could do it with ness and keystroke binding (for a demo) in the following way: Suppose you have two messages in a folder. The first is simple text, saying something like "The following message is voice mail.". The second is voice mail. Then write a small ness program that goes to the next message, and takes the content of the message and passes it to playback. Bind a keystroke to the ness program. Click on the first message, then advance to the voice mail message using the keystroke. The tricky part is actually getting hold of the message body. I'm not sure you can get enough info from messages with ness. The second way is to write a small inset for voice mail that does playback of the voice mail as part of its Update() method. Use flames to wrap your voice mail in one of these insets by re-writing the message. This way you can just click on the caption of the message, and when the voice message is exposed, it will be played. You can just draw a simple rectangle, with the name of the sender or something, as the visual appearance. This is the approach I'd take. You can modify the link and linkv classes, shouldn't take more than a day, and you don't have to worry about either ness or messages. It will also allow you to put voice mail things in documents such as reports. \quotation{ }Let me know how it works out.

AFS 3.0 doesn't need or provide a ``system control machine'' from which vopcon (Vice Operator's Console, not an ``AFS version of console'') could get server status information. The ``scout'' program is supposed to replace the vopcon functionality, for those system operators that need to know server status. Thus, even if you could find the old R libraries (that define things like r_Init, r_NewConn, r_nPackets, and r_nRetries, and thus link together a version of vopcon, you probably don't have a machine to which vopcon could bind in order to get server status information. I believe that the construction of vopcon is turned off in some or all circumstances in atk/console/cmd/Imakefile, at some sufficiently large Andrew patch level (<= 6).

In-Reply-To: References: You can probably get the effect you desire in the headers only by either A) changing the code or B) doing some init file hacking. In the latter scenario, which is REALLY ugly, what you'd do would be to replace things like the "Reply to Sender" menu & keystrokes with compound commands that do the normal action and then add the header you want. I don't have an example of exactly what you want, but the following init file line sets up a custom menu that sets up a reply to the sender, fills in the body, and then actually sends off the mail and deletes the message you were reading. You might use at as a sort of perverse inspiration for doing what you want to do... # addmenu messages-compound-operation "Custom~99,On The List~11" messages messages inherit "messages-reply-to-sender; messages-sendmessage-compound sendmessage-insert-file /afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr2/nsb/.onthelisttext; messages-sendmessage-compound sendmessage-excerpt-body; messages-sendmessage-compound sendmessage-send-message; messages-delete-current" A third way to extend the system that wouldn't have to use this awful syntax would be to use Ness; I'm not sure how exactly, but I'm pretty sure it could be done. (Actually, it might be a lot easier with Ness, but I'm not a Ness expert.) As far as eatmail goes: What it does is convert mbox format files to separate files in a directory (~/Mailbox by default) for processing by AMS. So I doubt that it's what you want. For converting MH mail to AMS, I think you have the right idea -- CUI reconstruct is the way to go. The reconstruction might work better if you first type "create folder-name" to create the folder index and then "reconstruct folder-name" to fill it in properly.

I used the imake and makedepend that was on the machine, although I did have to build them myself (the sources were there but I didn't find the binaries). I did have one problem with the executable which I still don't understand (it got very confused with a setting of CLASSPATH and printed out all sorts of strange error messages), but things did work.

But first you have to fix the bug I just discovered. The changes will appear on a forthcoming patch, but not patch 7. Unofficially you just need to add two lines to atk/ness/objects/nevent.c (The line numbers may incorrect because r1.22 is later than patch level 7): diff -c -r1.22 nevent.c *** /tmp/,RCSt1000326 Tue Sep 18 10:15:09 1990 --- nevent.c Tue Sep 18 10:00:59 1990 *************** *** 29,34 **** --- 29,35 ---- #include #include #include + #include /* for value_NEWVALUE */ #include #include #include *************** *** 570,575 **** --- 569,575 ---- XXX never freed */ sar = (unsigned char **)value_GetStringArray(vobj); sar[index] = s; + value_NotifyObservers(vobj, value_NEWVALUE); \} break; case 'v': /* value_setnotify(obj, bool) */ /* NSP = unstackBool(NSP, iar, &v); */ To try out the test below, empower the Ness and select DoMain from the Ness menu card. This should make three options appear in the currently empty clicklistV (but only after the repair to nevent.c noted above). A click on an option in the clicklistV will echo in the message line.
