Riccio" To: Info-Andrew Subject: Console bug (Version 7.6, ATK 17.0) There is a minor bug in console that occurs once a year, on Jan 1st. If you start a console on Jan 1st, it will never display the date until Jan 2nd. Here's why: Console checks to see if the date needs to be updated by checking the current day of the year (which ranges from 0 to 364 or 365) against the day of the year the last time it checked the time (called OldDate.) If they differ, the date display is updated. However, OldDate is incorrectly initialized to 0, so on the zeroth day of the year, Jan 1st, console will think that the date is correctly displayed when it has never been drawn at all. Similar problems may exist with the OldHours and OldMinutes variables. All of these should probably be initialized to something like -1. -- Mike Riccio Internet: mr2w+@andrew.cmu.edu Carnegie Mellon University Bitnet: R746MR2W@CMCCVB Disclaimer: I speak for no one, including myself. \enddata{text822, 0} \begindata{text822, 1955} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Thu, 2 Jan 1992 02:26:39 -0500 (EST) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Thu, 2 Jan 1992 02:24:33 -0500 (EST) Received: from BITNET.CC.CMU.EDU by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Thu, 2 Jan 92 02:24:24 EST Received: from HKUJNT.BITNET (SMTPUSER@HKUJNT) by BITNET.CC.CMU.EDU (PMDF #12078) id <01GETONX2T9S9PM8AQ@BITNET.CC.CMU.EDU>; Thu, 2 Jan 1992 02:23 EST Received: from HKUCC.BITNET by HKUJNT.BITNET; Thu, 2 Jan 92 15:23 +0800 Date: Thu, 2 Jan 92 15:23 +0800 From: "NG Fung Fai, Surveying, HKU" Subject: Printing EZ document in SGI Indigo To: info-andrew@ANDREW.CMU.EDU Message-Id: X-Vms-To: IN%"info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu" X-Vms-Cc: HRRBNFF Dear Susan, My understanding is that EZ document must be formatted by troff to produce a postscript format file before it can be printed.

That is, just let ATK wrap text into the window. Then, finally, when Messages or whatever sends your text as mail, it will wrap it comfortably into 80 columns. Thus, this message (as it sits in front of me) is in two long lines of text (that look like paragraphs) plus a signature. ATK wrapped the first one onto four display lines. This one has three display lines. Your mileage will vary depending on font and window width.

It might be relevant to recall that when messages adds the "messages" template, it always calls ReadTemplate with the "inserttemplatetext" parameter set to FALSE. I don't think this should matter, but it is probably the case that most other uses of templates don't do this. Aha! I also just tried using the "Add Template" menu in ez, and if you use it to add a template with color menus, you get exactly the same behavior in ez that I reported with sendmessage -- the menus show up, but have no effect.

The make World kept bombing out with /usr/local/bin/mkfontdir /usr/itc/released/X11fonts /usr/local/bin/mkfontdir: failed to create directory in /usr/itc/released/X11fonts After remaking mkfontdir did not help, I put some time into the problem and eventually tracked the failure down to if (BitmapGetInfoBitmap ((FontPathElementPtr) 0, &info, (FontEntryPtr) 0, file_name) != Successful) in mkfontdir.c. This call would fail for ANY file in the /usr/itc/released/X11fonts directory. Looking at the log file of make World, I noticed that the files in this directory were generated by bdftosnf but did not have a *.snf file extension, as shown in this excerpt from the make log: /usr/local/bin/bdftosnf /tmp/msgs14.bdf >msgs14.pcf /usr/itc/released/etc/install -c -m 0444 msgs14.pcf \ /usr/itc/released/X11fonts/msgs14.pcf I renamed the files in X11fonts to *.snf and mkfontdir worked fine. (I am presently running the make World again to verify that it works.) My question is why was the output of the bdftosnf function called *.pcf? Does changing the file extension to .snf have any deletrious effects? Why would this screw up mkfontdir? Thanks for any comments. -- John C.

I built ATK on a workstation such that it made a bdf format font directory. I transferred these down to the PC and converted them to .fon format with \bold{bdftofon}, which comes with the \italic{XVision} product. I believe the .fon format is a \italic{Windows} format. I am using ISO fonts, and ATK applications pick up normal text fonts correctly through the fonts.alias file. If I try to use certain Andrew specific fonts, such as aptcsr20, it crashes the server. The \bold{bdftofon} program doesn't complain about any of the bdf files, and they look okay to me after browsing through some of them. Some of the ATK fonts work correctly: table12 and the messages fonts work fine. The cursor fonts and xshape10 and most of the others do not. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

After a testing phase, it was taken out of service for enhancements and bug fixes. We are pleased to announce that it has now been returned to service. This revolutionary network service allows you to run Andrew Toolkit applications without the overhead of obtaining or compiling the Andrew software. It used to be that trying out Andrew required ftp'ing megabytes of source and performing a lengthy build... but no longer! The Remote Andrew Demo service will have you running Andrew software within 5 minutes. You need a host machine on the Internet, and you need to be running the X11 window system. A simple "finger" command will allow you to experience ATK applications firsthand. You'll be able to compose multimedia documents, navigate through the interactive Andrew Tour, and use the Andrew Message System to browse through CMU's three thousand bulletin boards and newsgroups. \center{\bold{HOW TO USE THE SERVICE}} To use the Remote Andrew Demo service, simply run the following command on your machine: \leftindent{finger help@atk.itc.cmu.edu} The service will give you any further instructions that may be necessary. \center{\bold{WHAT IS ANDREW?}} The Andrew Toolkit (ATK) is a multimedia graphical toolkit running under X11. It provides, among other things, an editor for composing rich-text documents complete with embedded insets such as raster images, spreadsheets, graphs, drawings, animations -- even embedded audio and video. Documents can be cross-referenced with embedded "hyperlinks." ATK includes an application builder, extension language, and a rich set of object types which make the creation of complex graphical interfaces easy. ATK is an open system, allowing new object types to be written in C. There's also an ATK-based mail/news program which allows the sending of graphical ATK documents through the mail. It complies with the forthcoming Internet RFC concerning multimedia mail formats (the "MIME" RFC). ATK has been a part of the campus computing environment of Carnegie Mellon University since 1986 and has continuously evolved to remain at the forefront of multimedia information technology. The Andrew Toolkit, release 5.0, is available free of charge on MIT's current distribution of X11 (release 5), in the directory contrib/andrew. And coming soon, a binary distribution of Andrew on CD-ROM, compiled for several of the most popular Unix platforms. For further information about ATK and the ATK Consortium which supports it, contact: \leftindent{wjh+@andrew.cmu.edu Wilfred J. Hansen Director, ATK Consortium School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University 4910 Forbes Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15213 } We invite you to experience ATK yourself -- right now -- with the Remote Andrew Demo. \enddata{text,538895460} \enddata{text822, 50681} \begindata{text822, 57346} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Sat, 25 Jan 1992 00:39:26 -0500 (EST) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sat, 25 Jan 1992 00:38:40 -0500 (EST) Received: from alpha.xerox.com by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Sat, 25 Jan 92 00:38:32 EST Received: from holmes.parc.xerox.com ([13.1.100.162]) by alpha.xerox.com with SMTP id <11839>; Fri, 24 Jan 1992 21:38:20 PST Received: by holmes.parc.xerox.com id <33025>; Fri, 24 Jan 1992 21:38:12 -0800 Received: from Messages.7.14.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.holmes.parc.xerox.com.sun4.40 via MS.5.6.holmes.parc.xerox.com.sun4_40; Fri, 24 Jan 1992 21:37:58 -0800 (PST) Message-Id: Date: Fri, 24 Jan 1992 21:37:58 PST Sender: Bill Janssen From: Bill Janssen X-Andrew-Message-Size: 1301+0 Content-Type: X-BE2; 12 If-Type-Unsupported: send To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: groff and ATK \begindata{text,2556816} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} Just a note to say that I'm currently using groff 1.04 (built with g++ 1.40.3 (built with gcc 1.40)) with ATK 5.0.0. It seems to work fine with embedded PS, and all. I'm using the following printcommand, previewcommand, and formatcommand: \example{formatcommand: cat /tmp/%s.n | /usr/gnu/bin/gpic -D -Tpsc | /usr/gnu/bin/gtbl | /usr/gnu/bin/geqn -m2 | /usr/gnu/bin/gtroff -E -Tpsc | /usr/transcript/bin/psdit | previewcommand: andypspreview %s printcommand: andypsprint } ("andypspreview" invokes the user's favorite PostScript previewer around here, "andypsprint" ships a PS file to the user's favorite PS printer). Note that I'm still using Adobe's Transcript "psdit" (instead of grops), and I'm using the ditroff "devpsc" font metrics supplied as part of the Transcript distribution. This is because the fonts supplied as part of the groff "devps" device, while they work mostly, don't really match. There is no "C" font (though the "CR" font works OK), the names of the special chars seem to change ("devps" doesn't seem to supply a "ul" character in the "SS" font, for example), and errors like "numeric overflow" seem to happen when I use the "devps" device and grops. Has anyone tried to supply the "devpsc" device in the format required by groff? Seems like it wouldn't be too difficult.

OK, I have a Digital VT1000 X-Terminal running Terminal Manager 2.2 (latest FC0). Under Customize settings for the terminal you can set the font path via LAT or tftp. The line for LAT reads: ROM,LUDWIG:: the line for tftp reads: ROM,192.52.218.45:/home/tftpboot/vt1000/font.paths Above ANN:: is the name of a node on our VAXcluster. 192.52.218.45 is the internet address of a DECsystem 5000 running Ultrix 4.2 with X11R5 patch level 8 and andrew (latest version) also installed. The file font.paths is used by the vt1000 to find the fonts. Here is a small excerpt /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/courO08.pcf -adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--11-80-100-100-m-60-iso8859-1 /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/courO18.pcf -adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--25-180-100-100-m-150-iso8859-1 ... /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/msgs14.pcf msgs14 /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/msgs10.pcf msgs10 /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/blshft12.pcf blshft12 /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/bits1.pcf bits1 /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/gofont10.pcf gofont10 /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/con12.pcf con12 /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/con10.pcf con10 /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/donz12.pcf donz12 /usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/kalfnt12.pcf kalfnt12 As you can see, the andrew fonts are listed. When I start an application like typescript, it displays the following: Starting typescript (Version 7.2, ATK 5.0.0); please wait... This will take about 5 minutes and then I get the following from the terminal manager: Set font path 192.52.218.45:/usr/local/andrew/X11fonts/. failed. Continuing to parse rest of font path. And typescript aborts with a segmentation fault. Oddly enough, loading fonts from LUDWIG:: which has Motif fonts installed, brings up typescript. The fonts don't look right, of course (I have the letter a for the pointer). Also, tcsh is my shell and I don't see what I have typed until I hit return. I hope this is enough detail. Eric -- Eric M.

Is this the recommended technique? What if some application uses a different color button? } This is the recommended way. Depending on what color the application uses I suppose the text might look ugly again. In general I wouldn't expect any application to change the color of the button label, so I suspect it won't be a problem in practice. (Note that LabelBackground is different from just Background, one affects just the text of the button, the other the area around the text.) I'm afraid there is no way to remove the endzone dimples without removing the box around them... You could try *.MotifScrollBars: yes (and then *.ScrollPosition:left if you want it there.) This will give you arrows in the endzones, but no indication when they are depressed. (I believe this is a bug.) The label preferences for the endzones can be used to make the arrows go away.

I don't mind the 3D stuff in general, I just think you guys got carried away. The text is the best (worst) example; it is much harder to read with the 3D effect. A problem I had today was that the border around the elevator turned black after I ran an image editing program. (I'm running with *.SButtonLabelBackground: gray75). I know next to nothing about X color management, but why would the border be the only affected thing when both it and the elevator are the same color?

This behaviour is erratic. I noticed it happen only twice so far. There may have been other cases though which I am not aware of. I suspect that the message may have vanished because of the problem with stripping the formatting off it, which might have been unsuccessful for some reason. The particular situation in which it downed on me that the message wasn't sent was when I posted a message to a local mailing list. Since I subscribe to that list, the message should have come back. But it never did. When I sent the message again later on (also with stripping the Andrew formatting), the message went through without problems and I got it back via the mailing list. In this case it is feasible that the problem may be elsewhere, but because of the "gravity of the offence" it may be worthwhile scrutinizing this part of Andrew in any case. \italic{\bold{bush:}} Sometimes, when I iconize \italic{bush}, and then deiconize it, the large font in \italic{bush}' pushbuttons changes to a very small one. It looks like \italic{bush} suddenly loses information about the font it should be using for its widgets. This happens only in the following circumstances: I have a script called \italic{vitool}, which invokes \italic{vi} in an \italic{xterm} window via \literal{"\typewriter{\smaller{xterm -n vi -T vi -e vi $*}}"}. When working with \italic{bush}, I sometimes change the default editor to \italic{vitool}. When I invoke that editor from \italic{bush}, then iconize \italic{bush}, and then deiconize it, it comes back with that very small font in its push buttons. \italic{\bold{This font looks like one of the small fonts in xterm (the "tiny" font)!}} \italic{Xterm} has slots for up to 8 fonts and the font referred to as \italic{tiny} is the font resource known as \typewriter{\smaller{vt100.font2. }}This, again, may be a server problem rather than Andrew problem, and it's not as serious as the potential problem with messages. }Has anyone encountered similar problems yet?

You will remember that for formatting my document to PostScript, I was using the formatcommand: formatcommand: cat /tmp/%s.n | /usr/gnu/bin/gpic -D -Tpsc | /usr/gnu/bin/gtbl | /usr/gnu/bin/geqn -m2 | /usr/gnu/bin/gtroff -E -Tpsc | /usr/transcript/bin/psdit | Turns out that I can use groff's grops, and remove the dependency on Transcript psdit, by simply using the following formatcommand: formatcommand: groff -pte -E /tmp/%s.n | Note: groff, not gtroff. The -pte switches tell it to run gpic, gtbl, and geqn before running gtroff. The output of gtroff is automatically piped into grops, which generates the PostScript. (This assumes that /usr/gnu/bin (or whereever groff is installed) is on one's path.) The problem with my earlier test was that 1) I was using gtroff with the wrong macro files, and 2) I had a bogus document (with a tab stop set at 2.5 miles in (somehow...) !).

Andrew programs run fine on DECstations equipped with standard monochrome/color graphics hardware, but on machines equipped with high-resolution TX graphics hardware, Andrew applications dump core upon startup. As far as I know, the only software difference between the standard and high-resolution DECstation machines is that one uses the "Xws" window display server, while the other uses the "Xtm" window server. Does the fact that different window servers are used on the two machines mean that Andrew needs to be built separately for each DECstation 5000 display type? If not, does anyone have an idea what else might be causing the core dump problem? (actually, core doesn't dump to a file--Andrew applications start, then simply vanish.)

The problem is in xgraphic/SetupFillGC(), which seems to assume that \typewriter{lastFillTile} will always have something of use in it. But sometimes, especially when you are just creating the graphic, the value of \typewriter{lastFillTile} will be NULL. This is compounded by a less-than-useful assumption in xgraphic/RealDisplayClass(), which assumes that the first visual on the list of visuals returned by XGetVisualInfo() is the one to use. Under OW 3.0, the first visual on the list (with a color display) is a StaticGray (with 8 bitplanes, which is what seems to trigger the SetupFillGC() bug), but the one we really want to use is, of course, the color visual for the screen.
