GDB 4.1 handles shared libraries better, in that it automatically finds them; you still have to use the "sharedlibrary" command to load up the symbol tables for stuff loaded up by "dlopen()" - "sharedlibrary", with no arguments, appears to find every shareable object that's been "dlopen()"ed since the last time it checked, and read its symbols in. There is a bug in GDB 4.1 where it doesn't set the "end of text" address in the "partial symbol table" entry for a shareable object correctly; it relocates the *beginning of text* address to put it where the object was actually loaded, but not the end of text address. One consequence of this is that you can't always (can't ever?) step into a routine in a "dlopen()"ed shareable object. The following patch appears to fix that (and has been sent to "bug-gdb"): *** dbxread.c.dist Fri Sep 20 23:47:25 1991 --- dbxread.c Mon Sep 30 18:20:27 1991 *************** *** 1708,1714 **** #ifdef END_OF_TEXT_DEFAULT end_of_text_addr = END_OF_TEXT_DEFAULT; #else ! end_of_text_addr = text_addr + text_size; #endif symtab_input_desc = desc; /* This is needed for fill_symbuf below */ --- 1708,1714 ---- #ifdef END_OF_TEXT_DEFAULT end_of_text_addr = END_OF_TEXT_DEFAULT; #else ! end_of_text_addr = text_addr + addr + text_size; /* Relocate */ #endif symtab_input_desc = desc; /* This is needed for fill_symbuf below */ \enddata{text822, 0} \begindata{text822, 2786} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Wed, 2 Oct 1991 11:41:02 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Wed, 2 Oct 1991 11:38:09 -0400 (EDT) Received: from att.att.com by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Wed, 2 Oct 91 11:37:45 EDT From: mtgzy!mtgzfs3!mtgzy!leeper@att.att.com Received: from mtgz055.gazelle.att.com by mtgzfs3.att.com (4.1/SMI-4.0) id AA24035; Wed, 2 Oct 91 11:32:43 EDT Received: from Messages.7.15.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.mtgz055.gazelle.att.com.sun4.41 via MS.5.6.mtgz055.gazelle.att.com.sun4_41; Wed, 2 Oct 1991 11:32:42 -0400 (EDT) Message-Id: Date: Wed, 2 Oct 1991 11:32:42 -0400 (EDT) Original-From: M R Leeper To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: AMS captions searching problem The latest release of AMS seems to have a problem searching captions.

The captions code includes a "virtual scroll bar" that lets you scroll backwards through the captions without retreiving them all first -- it retrieves them as needed. Things that need to go back, like reverse searching, first call a routine that basically says "fill in all the old captions -- never mind the 'virtual' part." A bug like the one you describe would have been introduced if someone changed it to be calling textview_ReverseScroll (or whatever it is called) instead of captions_ReverseScroll (or whatever it is called). Did anyone at the ITC play with these functions in the latest release?

The original problem was that when people printed a lot of mesages, and ezprint was started immediately for each one, each one generated (on CMU printers) its own cover sheet. This was incredibly wasteful -- the typical message was one page, so it doubled the paper use. So, I implemented a messages-to-print queue. When Messages queues things for printing, it just writes them somewhere (~/.MS.ToPrintMumble..). Then, periodically, if there are things in that queue, it prints them. This means that if you print 10 messages in rapid succession, they'll print as a single job with a single cover sheet. Now, when does this happen? Oh, whenever. Seriously, there are several options that can control this, notably CheckpointFrequency. One option even turns off delayed printing altogether, reinstating the paper-wasting but immediate printing behavior (and perfectly suitable if your printer doesn't generate cover sheets anyway). I don't remember for sure, but that's something like "*.DelayPrinting: no". Before you take that drastic a step, however, why not consider doing what I do: In general, live with the delays, but if you ever need the printouts urgently, type the following to the UNIX shell: cui quit This starts the cui program, the dumb-terminal interface to AMS, but immediately exits it. One of the thing its exit-procressing does is to kick any pending print requests to the printer. Thus you can use it as an "empty the AMS print queue" command if you're so inclined. Hope that helps. -- Nathaniel \enddata{text822, 16704} \begindata{text822, 19805} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 602;andrew.cmu.edu;Adam Stoller Received: from commander.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Fri, 4 Oct 1991 11:40:13 -0400 (EDT) If-Type-Unsupported: send Received: from commander.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Fri, 4 Oct 1991 11:38:45 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Messages.7.15.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.commander.andrew.cmu.edu.rs.aix31 via MS.5.6.commander.andrew.cmu.edu.rs_aix31; Fri, 4 Oct 1991 11:38:44 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Fri, 4 Oct 1991 11:38:44 -0400 (EDT) From: Adam Stoller X-Andrew-Message-Size: 1063+0 Content-Type: X-BE2; 12 To: Info-Andrew Subject: Re: slow printing from messages CC: Bob_Dew@alw.nih.gov In-Reply-To: References: \begindata{text,538905096} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} Nathaniel only seems to remember half the problem -- As I recall it, the other problem is that people were running Messages on machines with only 3 megs of memory - and having Messages running and starting up \italic{N} ezprint processes could easily cause the machine to thrash.

With the option set to "yes," you can force a print at any time while you are using the program by moving into the typescript and typing \leftindent{cui quit} (which starts and quits CUI, forcing the pending prints to go out).} \enddata{text,539187336} \enddata{text822, 24333} \begindata{text822, 26877} 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 ; Sun, 6 Oct 1991 14:13:51 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po3.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sun, 6 Oct 1991 14:11:09 -0400 (EDT) Received: from IBM.COM by po3.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Sun, 6 Oct 91 14:10:49 EDT Received: from RCHLAND by IBM.COM (IBM VM SMTP R1.2.1MX) with BSMTP id 3277; Sun, 06 Oct 91 11:11:56 PDT Reply-To: "Wayne Richardson" Received: by po1.rchland.ibm.com (5.51/4.7) id for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu; Sun, 6 Oct 91 12:32:30 CDT Received: via switchmail; Sun, 6 Oct 1991 12:32:28 -0500 (CDT) Received: from borg.rchland.ibm.com via qmail ID ; Sun, 6 Oct 1991 12:32:00 -0500 (CDT) Received: from borg.rchland.ibm.com via qmail ID ; Sun, 6 Oct 1991 12:31:58 -0500 (CDT) Received: from Messages.7.15.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.borg.rchland.ibm.com.rs.aix31 via MS.5.6.borg.rchland.ibm.com.rs_aix31; Sun, 6 Oct 1991 12:31:57 -0500 (CDT) Message-Id: Date: Sun, 6 Oct 1991 12:31:57 -0500 (CDT) From: Wayne D Richardson To: Info-Andrew Subject: Inaccurate folder clicking In messages, If your mouse click is more than about 3 pixels below the bottom entry in the folders window, you get the "What do you want to do with ...?" dialog box instead of the folder contents.

Site Description Sun Sparcstation 2 (server) SunOS 4.1.1 X11R4 Andrew @ patchlevel 10 Student Laboratories populated with Xterminals. 1. Printing Is it possible to change the name of the temporary file used during the format->print pipe from /tmp/%s.n to something more unique (e.g. /tmp/%s..n)? This is essential in an Xterminal environment. 2. Menu Pointer Could somebody point me to the code that displays the arrow when the cascading menus appear? It is appearing in reverse video on our Xterminals which causes no end of confusion since a white arrow on a white background is quite "traumatic" for users. I am assuming that it is displayed using GXor which apparently is slightly buggy in the X server on our Xterminals but can be tweaked to give correct output (so I'm told anyway). 3. Groff for printing I have currently configured andrew to use groff to print documents from ez,eq and table. It doesn't appear to handle encapsulated PostScript however which is necessary when printing zip figures (and rasters I guess). I seem to remember somebody coming up which a script (possibly in perl) which allowed groff to print zip figures. Any info would be appreciated.

Why? Because the captions and folders views are just subviews of textview, and they leave all the low-level mouse analysis to textview. They then look to see where "dot" has been put, and use that to figure out what to do. In this case, if you click a few pixels below the last visible entry, textview seems to decide that the hit actually appeared somewhere else. (You may notice it has the wrong folder name in the dialog box often, too!) I can't swear this is right, because I haven't looked at the code for years, and right now I'm using CUI over a slow-bandwidth link, but my recollection is that this is basically a textview problem.

It provides a dynamically-loadable object-oriented environment wherein objects can be embedded in one-another. Thus, one could use our 'generic-object' editor (ez) to edit text that, in addition to containing multiple fonts, contains embedded raster images, spreadsheets, drawing editors, equations, simple animations, etc.. These embedded objects could themselves contain other objects, including text. With the toolkit, programmers can create new objects that can be embedded as easily as those that come with the system. Many objects, including those mentioned above, along with a help system, a system monitoring tool (console), an editor based shell interface (typescript), and support for printing multi-media documents, are included in the release, making it useful to programmers and non-programmers alike. The Andrew Message System(AMS) 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 ttys and low-function personal computers in addition to the high-function workstations. } This release of Andrew contains many bug fixes, updates and improvements in both code and documentation. Release 5.0 also contains a variety of new facilities. Items featured in this release are: \indent{- Compiled and tested with X11R5 on the following platforms: RS 6000, Ultrix 4.2, Sun4.411, SGI IRIX 4.0 - Removal of dependency on G0 libraries for DecStation platforms - New scroll-bars (type % \bold{help preferences}) - Dean Rubine's gesture recognition work & Scott Hassan's gesture textview (gtextv) - Dialog boxes that take advantage of transient windows - Improved color performance - Menubar improvements - Option of how to deal with editing of documents that are referenced through UNIX links - Support for SGI IRIX 4.0 platform - Fixed indentation of switch statements in ctext - Charles Hayden's Audio Link inset (contrib) - "Make Window Dump" and "Make Area Dump" menu items added to raster }This release can be obtained in several ways. The entire X distribution is available via anonymous ftp from the Internet host export.lcs.mit.edu (Internet address: 18.30.0.238). The sources of ATK and AMS are located in the andrew tree, one of the contributed toolkits. Just the andrew tree from the X distribution, as well as the latest patches, is available via anonymous ftp from the Internet host, emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu (Internet: 128.2.30.62). Due to its size, the compressed tar'd tree is split into 11 files, andrew.aa through andrew.ak (about 1MB each) in the split/ directory. You should cat andrew.* together into andrew.tar.Z, uncompress the tree then tar -xvpf. \bold{Remote Andrew Demo Service} This revolutionary network service allows you to run Andrew Toolkit applications without the overhead of obtaining or compiling the Andrew software. 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. 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. \bold{Known Problems} We are already aware of a few problems you may encounter with the distribution. \indent{ }1) Building the system with LINKINSTALL_ENV defined will fail in two directories: overhead/class/lib and xmkfontd. Since that is set by default, you will have to either #undef LINKINSTALL_ENV in your site.h file or change the following two files: overhead/class/lib/Imakefile:\indent{ 29,32d28 < #ifdef LIBDL_ENV < install.time:: libclass.a < $(INSTALL) $(INSTLIBFLAGS) libclass.a $(DESTDIR)/lib < #else /* LIBDL_ENV */ 34d29 < #endif /* LIBDL_ENV */ }xmkfontd/Imakefile: \indent{ 18c18 < $(INSTALL) $\{INSTLIBFLAGS\} non-andrew.fonts.alias $\{DESTDIR\}/X11fonts/fonts.alias --- > InstallFileToFile(non-andrew.fonts.alias, $\{INSTLIBFLAGS\}, $\{DESTDIR\}/X11fonts/fonts.alias) }2) if libX11.a is not located in /usr/lib, then some contrib/gestures Imakefiles won't be able to find it. contrib/gestsrc/gdp/Imakefile: 7,8c7,8 < < ProgramTarget(gdp,$(OBJS),$(LIBS),-lX11 -lm) --- > XLIB = -L$\{XLIBDIR\} -lX11 > ProgramTarget(gdp,$(OBJS),$(LIBS),$\{XLIB\} -lm) contrib/gestsrc/gdev/Imakefile: 8a9 > XLIB = -L$\{XLIBDIR\} -lX11 12c13 < ProgramTarget(gtest,gtest.o,libgdev.a,-lX11) --- > ProgramTarget(gtest,gtest.o,libgdev.a,$\{XLIB\}) contrib/gestsrc/record/Imakefile: 10a11 > XLIB = -L$\{XLIBDIR\} -lX11 12c13 < ProgramTarget(mrecord, $(OBJS), $(LIBS),-lX11 -lm) --- > ProgramTarget(mrecord, $(OBJS), $(LIBS),$\{XLIB\} -lm) 3) on hpux, return value for routine long clock() in contrib/gestures/gtext/gtextv.c should be (unsigned long) 48,49c48,53 < < long clock() --- > #ifdef hpux > unsigned long > #else > long > #endif > clock() 4) contrib/mit/annot/\{noteview.c,psview.c\} : these two modules define a routine called close(). This may confuse your compiler-- we renamed the function definitions and usage to Close() (capital C)\indent{ }contrib/mit/annot/noteview.c:\indent{ 37c37 < close(v,l) --- > Close(v,l) 79c79 < \{"noteview-close",NULL,0,"notes,close~2", 0,0,close,"close the note"\}, --- > \{"noteview-close",NULL,0,"notes,close~2", 0,0,Close,"close the note"\}, }contrib/mit/annot/psview.c:\indent{ 91c91 < close(v,l) --- > Close(v,l) }5) The README states that the system files for Ultrix 4.2 are located in andrew/config/pmax_42, although the directory name is actually pmax_ul4. \indent{ } Your bug reports are welcome; send them to info-andrew-bugs@andrew.cmu.edu and we will periodically post a status report to info-andrew. We also distribute the following related materials: \leftindent{Hardcopies of the documentation for ATK and AMS (available now). Nathaniel S.

It used to be that trying out Andrew required ftp'ing 35 megabytes of sources and spending a day compiling... 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 fully-general, 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. New object types can be written in C. There's also an ATK-based mail/news program which allows the sending of graphical ATK documents through the mail. 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. We invite you to experience ATK yourself -- right now -- with the Remote Andrew Demo. 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. \enddata{text,538446600} \enddata{text822, 97023} \begindata{text822, 101442} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 38;andrew.cmu.edu;Susan Straub Received: from elwyn.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Fri, 18 Oct 1991 12:56:52 -0400 (EDT) If-Type-Unsupported: send Received: from elwyn.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Fri, 18 Oct 1991 12:56:18 -0400 (EDT) Received: from Messages.7.15.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.elwyn.andrew.cmu.edu.rs.aix31 via MS.5.6.elwyn.andrew.cmu.edu.rs_aix31; Fri, 18 Oct 1991 12:56:18 -0400 (EDT) Message-ID: Date: Fri, 18 Oct 1991 12:56:18 -0400 (EDT) From: Susan Straub X-Andrew-Message-Size: 351+0 Content-Type: X-BE2; 12 To: Info-Andrew Subject: Correction: Andrew Toolkit Release 5.0 \begindata{text,539495048} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} Please note that the ODA Project Book is available\bold{ now }(not soon as originally posted). \excerptedcaption{ Excerpts from misc: 17-Oct-91 Andrew Toolkit Release 5.0 => Info-Andrew@andrew.cm (7888+0)} \quotation{We also distribute the following related materials: } \leftindent{\quotation{ODA Project Book: \italic{Multi-media Document Interchange: ODA and the EXPRES Project }(Springer Verlag, available\bold{ soon}). } }\enddata{text,539495048} \enddata{text822, 101442} \begindata{text822, 103078} 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 ; Fri, 18 Oct 1991 14:06:11 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Fri, 18 Oct 1991 14:03:47 -0400 (EDT) Received: from cats.UCSC.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Fri, 18 Oct 91 14:03:22 EDT Received: from as215-ws-2.UCSC.EDU by cats.UCSC.EDU with SMTP id AA02598; Fri, 18 Oct 91 11:02:39 -0700 From: warlock@cats.UCSC.EDU Received: by as215-ws-2.ucsc.edu (5.65/4.7) id AA06463; Fri, 18 Oct 91 11:02:34 -0700 Date: Fri, 18 Oct 91 11:02:34 -0700 Message-Id: <9110181802.AA06463@as215-ws-2.ucsc.edu> To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu Subject: Andrew on SCO Unix 3.2v2 Has anyone attempted/succeeded getting Andrew upd and running on a system running SCO Unix?

Most crucial is the fonts. I'm building this in an X11R4 environment, and apparently the version of xmkfontdir I'm running doesn't know about pcf files. The result is that the fonts.dir file never gets built, so no Andrew fonts are ever recognized. Is there anything I can do about this? Second, there seems to be a bug in the preferences-reading code. Preferences that used to work have just stopped working, with some weird error mesages that suggest memory corruption. In particular, I have the preference *.SurrogateHelpFile: /u/nsb/personal/TODO.ez which worked with the old version, but the new Messages now gives me the error message Cannot read surrogate help file ISCOLOR (2) Now "ISCOLOR" is a string that appears *later* in my preferences file, so I suspect some kind of memory corruption. Have the preferences-handling routines changed substantially? Finally, I am surprised and disappointed to discover that the long-yearned-for Motif-style dialog boxes and buttons seems to use much more bandwidth on the X protocol than the old versions. The result is that, when using an X terminal over a dialup, the new verison of Andrew feels MUCH slower than the old one -- lots of sitting around waiting for the buttons to draw themselves. Is there any way to get rid of the 3-d look on the butons and dialog boxes? I couldn't find any way in the documentaton, but I thought I'd ask, because the fancy look is simply not worth the cost at 9600 baud. Overall, this was one of the smoothest Andrew compilations I've ever had, so I hate to be complaining, but it isn't quite perfect. The font problem is the most crucial. Any ideas?

It seems that messages depends on storage that shouldn't be depended on, but has always gotten away with it in the past. Anyway, here's a fix for that bug. The fix is localized to atkams/messages/lib/text822v.c: 129c129 < char *SurrogateHelpFile; --- > char *SurrogateHelpFile, *s; 138c138,142 < SurrogateHelpFile = (char *) environ_GetProfile("messages.surrogatehelpfile"); --- > s = (char *) environ_GetProfile("messages.surrogatehelpfile"); > if (s) { > SurrogateHelpFile = malloc(1+strlen(s)); > strcpy(SurrogateHelpFile, s); > } else s = SurrogateHelpFile = s; In other words, we just need to keep a copy of the value rather than a pointer.

CC: olivea!bu.edu!dartvax!coos!paw@ames.arc.nasa.gov (Pat Wilson) In-Reply-To: References: <1991Oct18.193705.12065@dartvax.dartmouth.edu> \begindata{text,539842144} \textdsversion{12} \template{messages} We have found that our R5 server on the RS6000 doesn't work correctly with snf fonts. If you are getting garbage, that's probably the culprit. In ATK 5.0 (our R5 release) we use these settings by default: site.h: #define FONTS_TO_PCF_ENV 1 site.mcr: XFC = $\{XBINDIR\}/bdftopcf You want to end up with a bunch of .pcf files in $ANDREWDIR/X11fonts, and no .snf's. If your fonts are legible, but too small, make sure you have the 100dpi fonts in your fontpath, and put them before the 75dpi fonts (if you bother with the 75's at all -- you won't need them for ATK). However, if you ever use info, it will corrupt your font situation in ways that we cannot avoid (without making changes to info). I do not recommend using the non-andrew.fonts.alias file that Bill posted -- it will cause some subtle problems (in my opinion), and will not fix illegible fonts. If you don't have the latest release, I suggest getting it, because the font code has been reworked to take advantage of R5 (and to just plain make more sense).

Value Objects These are the switches and sliders in the set-options system in messages, and elsewhere. See the preferences list in the sbutton help file, the preferences for these objects are obtained by replacing the word sbutton in each preference listed in the sbutton help file with adew.

In overhead/malloc/malloc.ci there was an ifdef hpux which set the variable sbrk to void *. However in /usr/include/sys/unistd.h there is an ifdef _CLASSIC_XOPEN_TYPES which sets sbrk to char *. As this is the only place where sbrk is redefined, we have assumed that this is what is causing the compilation clash. Where the _CLASSIC... variable is set, I do not know. I have therefore commented out the ifdef hpux temporarily until I hear from you if this is the right thing to do. As for the issue about the wrong system file being used, this seems to stem from config/platform.tmpl where hp300/system.mcr is used instead of hp300_80. As this seems to relate to what you were discussing with Jean, I have temporarily hacked this file to explicitly reference hp300_80 until I hear the new solution. The reason for doing the above is that I need to build this version first and then make my demo code changes in andrew mail and then rebuild. I want to do the first before the second and they both take time ! Please let me know if you have any better solutions or if you think that I have not done the correct fix. Thanks. In future Jean and I will try to fix/debug before I/he mail you.

Unfortunately, the link against libclass.a was done in such a way that the absolute path is required for the dynamic link. I added the following to the Imakefile in atk/apps, and things got much nicer: before: \example{47 % \bold{ldd runapp} /project/andrew/r5/installed/lib/libclass.a -lresolv.1 => /project/andrew/r5/installed/lib/libresolv.so.1.1 -ldl.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0 -lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6 } after: \example{54 % \bold{ldd runapp} -lresolv.1 => /project/andrew/r5/installed/lib/libresolv.so.1.1 -lclass.5 => /project/andrew/r5/installed/lib/libclass.so.1.0 -ldl.1 => /usr/lib/libdl.so.1.0 -lc.1 => /usr/lib/libc.so.1.6 } The change was to add the following to the Imakefile: \example{#ifdef LIBDL_ENV CLASSLIBS = -L$\{BASEDIR\}/lib -lclass all:: -rm $\{BASEDIR\}/lib/libclass.so.1.0 ln -s $\{BASEDIR\}/lib/libclass.a $\{BASEDIR\}/lib/libclass.so.1.0 #else /* LIBDL_ENV */ CLASSLIB = $\{BASEDIR\}/lib/libclass.a #endif /* LIBDL_ENV */ } at the appropriate spot in the Imakefile (that ln -s should be done in a more appropriate place, I think, and it would be nice if the "1" and "0" were replaced by some symbolic names). It's not clear to me that libclass is an appropriate library to symbolically link, anyway, considering its size.

"Successfully" is defined as: 1) the file can be opened for read, 2) at least one entry in the file is valid. The only exception to this rule previously was the cmenu library, which needed to be obtained from .Xdefaults because we thought that cmenu might be used by some other X program, and we didn't want to tie it to ATK.

In previous releases, if you had the "Punt" button enabled, it was possible to grab the line at the top of the Punt button and drag it down, thus revealing a hidden "commit" button. This functionality is now gone. I presume it has something to do with the change of buttons, but I also presume that the disappearance of the Commit button was an accident.

The backwards compatibility argument really doesn't hold here, in that those people who really understand symbolic links are soffisticated enough, not to be bothered by the change in behavior (and are even smart enough to find a way to get back to the old behavior). People who really don't understand about symbolic links will be glad that we gave them the option. Those that don't understand symbolic links at all may wonder what is going on. My apprehension about the default for ClobberSymLinks is that the last group is the largest and I'm at a loss as to what their expectations would be for the default.

However, if a relatively motivated and reasonably intelligent developer cannot decipher its build instructions, or if the build files themselves have bugs, Andrew promoters cannot expect it to go very far. Why can't Andrew be shipped with something that actually uses Imake? Why can't target destinations be resolved, by default, to something based off Imakefile destinations? (My X11R5 code is in /usr/X11R5/..., as are many peoples'.) Why can't it resolve configuration questions, as so many other useful packages do, by running a shell script? Ugh.

I'm sorry that it disappeared simply because it was construed as a bug by somebody. Ah, the lack of oral tradition. There's a pair of options for adding a Punt button and adding a Punt menu item. Can we do likewise for Commit? I wouldn't mind being able to get a Commit button all the time; I don't care if I can't pull it down from thin air. A Commit menu item would be OK, too. I believe it's important for any bboard administrator to be able to Commit changes (writing and unlocking directories); I've used Commit in that capacity many times. As to the symlink defaults, I agree with Andy Palay and Nathaniel that expert users who want to overwrite symlinks will be able to figure out how to get EZ to do what they want, and they'll even be able to get EZ to shut up about asking the symlink question. Maybe they'll even be glad that EZ will ask them a question in a situation in which they might before have stumbled blindly.

(This is true for Patch 10 as well as for Version 5). For example, consider a simple file consisting of three lines, composed with the ez editor: $ cat foo one two three Now, apply the ez2ascii filter: $ ez2ascii foo onetwothree In addition to new line handling problems, ez2ascii completely falls apart when applied to files that are saved from within the messages program, using the "append to file" menu option. Basically, es2ascii filters out the body of the message, leaving just the mail headers. If ez2ascii could be fixed in future releases, it could be a most useful tool.

Egg on my face time. When I posted my last message, I was going entirely on the basis of Bob Dew's post, which I misinterpreted. Apparently he's complaining that ez2ascii does "the wrong thing" when given a NON-ATK file -- in this case, a plain text file of three lines. I was thinking of a real ATK-format file. It turns out that ezview manifests precisely the same bug. There's an obvious fix -- ez2ascii *or* ezview could check to see if the file is ATK format, and just cat it if it isn't. At any rate, ezview is no better in this regard, and I retract my previous claim. The only thing ezview does that ez2ascii doesn't is, optionally, try to run ez first before showing you the ascii version. This is handy in certain circumstances, but hardly critical...

It's the kind of bug experienced programmers tend to introduce into a system, because they need it as a feature. For example, if I had a big tree of sources, and I worked on them by building a symlinked shadow, then edited files in the shadow tree, I'd like the autoclobber behavior. Unfortunately, it's the kind of behavior that drives novice or occasional users up the wall (and away from the tool, around PARC). Consider the editing process applied to a symlink. There are two behaviors that are arguably reasonable. One is to edit the symlink itself; that is, present the name of the file that the link points to, and allow the user to change it. Upon doing a save, the symlink would be re-linked to point to the new file. However, symlinks are intended to allow a file to appear in more than one place, and so the second editing operation is the more natural: edit the file the symlink points to. One of these two things is what EZ should do by default. Neither includes the operation (which is arguably useful) of replacing the symlink with a real file, a copy (perhaps modified!) of what the symlink used to point to. That operation might always be available as a separate menu entry.

This will generate the top-level Makefile from which the rest becomes easier to do. Continuing from the same directory, use the following commands: make World If you want to build Andrew in stages, these are the steps: make Makefiles make dependInstall And finally, as for the notion of putting everything anyone might come up with under some location such as /usr/X11R5 -- it's the most brain- damaged scheme I can think of.

It seems like they should default to being somewhere in the current path, but I did fix this in my original config file. Thanks for your patient and helpful comments: indeed this was the problem. >>Why can't Andrew be shipped with something that actually uses Imake? > >Huh? The README file explicitly tells you to run imake. What I mean is this: If a contributed product is shipped with the X11R5 distribution, it should include an Imakefile which works the way people normally use imake: You should be able to say xmkmf or imake -DTOPDIR=../../../mit -DCURDIR=../contrib/lib/andrew In fact, now that I understand what I did wrong, I also see that it would have been trivial for Andrew developers to make this work the way people expect it. Furthermore, with no changes, Andrew as shipped with X11R5 should produce its output in the ProjectRoot directory. In short, it should behave as people would expect a product shipped with X11R5 to behave. This, too, is relatively simple to do. My complaint is mainly that Andrew did not conform to the build requirements that contrib software is supposed to conform to. Given the number of people who will try to build Andrew, insufficient attention appears to have been paid to making installation easy. -- ____ \ /Dan Greening Software Transformation 1601 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd, #100 \/dgreen@sti.com (408) 973-8081 x313 Cupertino, CA 95014 \enddata{text822, 243834} \begindata{text822, 246905} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from 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, 26 Oct 1991 09:47:51 -0400 (EDT) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sat, 26 Oct 1991 09:43:58 -0400 (EDT) Received: from ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Sat, 26 Oct 91 09:43:50 EDT Received: by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (5.63/1.42) id AA17862; Sat, 26 Oct 91 06:28:46 -0700 Received: from USENET by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU with netnews for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu (info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu) (contact usenet@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU if you have questions) Date: 25 Oct 91 00:35:16 GMT From: convex!datri@uunet.uu.net (Anthony A.

(My X11R5 code is in >/usr/X11R5/..., as are many peoples'.) I just let it dump into /usr/andrew, which I can make a link as needed. I follow the same policy there as I do with the X distribution -- let it think in terms of /usr/andrew (or /usr/{bin,lib,include}/X11), which are links to /rmt/andrewlink (or though /rmt/Xlink), which can be set on a per-client basis at will (/rmt is where we put NFS mounts). >Why can't it resolve >configuration questions, as so many other useful packages do, by >running a shell script? Some packages can do a great job by running a Configure script. None that I've seen are more than a tiny fraction of the size of the Andrew distribution, and none of them have nearly as many configurable options. The options for building ATK really should be reviewed in full before setting them; running a script would require the builder to come up with answers on the spot before he grokked the fullness of what they meant. -- \enddata{text822, 256593} \begindata{text822, 260447} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Sun, 27 Oct 1991 23:53:04 -0500 (EST) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sun, 27 Oct 1991 23:50:28 -0500 (EST) Received: from ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Sun, 27 Oct 91 23:50:00 EST Received: by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (5.63/1.42) id AA06815; Sun, 27 Oct 91 20:43:00 -0800 Received: from USENET by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU with netnews for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu (info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu) (contact usenet@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU if you have questions) Date: 25 Oct 91 15:14:25 GMT From: meaddata!gordon@uunet.uu.net (Gordon Edwards) Organization: Mead Data Central, Dayton OH Subject: Need AFS papers.

It turned out that this 'other system' contained code which was [or assumed to be] strictly copyrighted, and therefore could not be distributed with the rest of the code - and therefore we learned and put into effect imake for the complete distribution, pretty much from scratch. 2) As far as I know (and I could be very wrong here) - the MIT configuration files were never clearly documented anywhere - and it is rather difficult to follow an undocumented 'standard' - which as I said before was not a pre-requisite at the time we began distributing Andrew with the X11 tape. 3) Having come across a variety of Imakefiles which do use the 'standard' X11 Imake macros - I have found them to be very in-flexible and difficult to modify to work in different environments (maybe I just missed something, who knows?) - whereas the configuration files used in the Andrew Distribution were naturally developed with our environment in mind. The distribution was a way to let other people know about our software - but there was no reason why it should take precedence over our own usage in our own environment. We simply tried to make our config files - verrrrrrrrry configurable (and documented - though in ATK format documents) \excerptedcaption{Excerpts from internet.info-andrew: 24-Oct-91 Re: My 4th Build Timewaster..

Some of our users have been using the old 7-bit fonts, because they like the looks of them better. They used to accomplish this by including on their font path a directory that had a different fonts.alias file, nothing more -- I believe this solution was posted earlier on info-andrew when the international fonts were first announced. With R5, however, this has stopped working. When you try to use the 7bit fonts, you end up with really trashy fonts instead. Any idea why this might be happening? Other than this, we're pretty happy now with R5...

(Availability on tape from MIT prior to October is not yet determined.) The core MIT part of the distribution, source and documentation, will require about 100Mb of disk space. Although preliminary contributed software will also be made available in September, there will be a one month period for people to build and test their software against the MIT R5 core before contributing it to us for final distribution. The deadline for contributions will be October 5. All contributed software and documentation must include a copyright, and a permission notice that is generally no more restrictive than the standard MIT permission notice (see mit/include/copyright.h in R4, for example). Every file should contain a copyright and permission notice, not just directories. MIT reserves the right to reject contributed software containing what we judge to be inadequate copyrights or unacceptable permission notices. MIT reserves the right to reject public domain software, especially public domain fonts. If you have doubts about your permission notice, you should send it to me for review. All contributed software should have filenames no longer than 14 characters. Software will not be rejected on this basis, but your software will be useless to many people if you do not conform to this. All contributed software should use Imakefiles. MIT reserves the right to reject software that does not use them. All contributed software should be built against R5 before submission. MIT has at least a dozen platforms on which to build software, and reserves the right to reject software that does not build on at least a few of them (although we make no promise to actually build anything). The submission should be clean of garbage files. MIT reserves the right to reject submissions containing lots of executables, backup files, core files, or the like. Large PostScript files should be included in compressed format. All contributed software must be explicitly submitted to MIT; we will not carry forward any old (R4) software into R5, nor will we copy sources from an ftp site without a submission request. Contributions will not be accepted from the public until after the R5 core is released to the public. }\enddata{text,539506948} \enddata{text822, 269820} \begindata{text822, 273773} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from andrew.cmu.edu via trymail for info-andrew+@andrew.cmu.edu (->+dist+/afs/andrew.cmu.edu/usr0/ak99/dists/info-andrew-nostrip.dl) ID ; Tue, 29 Oct 1991 09:49:39 -0500 (EST) Received: from po5.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Tue, 29 Oct 1991 09:49:08 -0500 (EST) If-Type-Unsupported: send Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Tue, 29 Oct 1991 09:44:02 -0500 (EST) Received: from elysees.dartmouth.edu by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Tue, 29 Oct 91 09:43:51 EST Received: by elysees.dartmouth.edu (5.65D1/4.2) id AA05901; Tue, 29 Oct 91 09:43:43 -0500 Received: from Messages.7.14.N.CUILIB.3.45.SNAP.NOT.LINKED.elysees.noname.sun4.40 via MS.5.6.elysees.noname.sun4_40; Tue, 29 Oct 1991 09:43:42 -0500 (EST) Message-Id: Date: Tue, 29 Oct 1991 09:43:42 -0500 (EST) From: "Anthony V.

That is, you've gone on to the next folder, but the previous folder is still highlighted in the folders area. Typing ^L always fixes this bug. This sounds like a classic case of failing to call WantUpdate.

When specifying fontdesc_Create("andytype", fontdesc_Bold, 12) and assigning this font to some views, the resulting size of the characters is clearly more than 12 points. We installed Andrew without undefining ISO80_FONTS_ENV as suggested by README.ez. Since we thought that the X-Server took the 100dpi-fonts, we edited the font.alias file and inserted the 75dpi specification into the adobe-font strings. No result! The strange thing is, that if you use `typewriter` in ez (which is indeed andytype) you get a font of the correct size. Any suggestions ? M.

How would you have done it? (this >is out of curiosity - and not a statement of intent to change anything) Well, the way people use imake is the way X uses imake. What I mean is this: you should be able to go to a part of the tree higher than the component in question, and type something like this: cd /s/R5/contrib xmkmf make Makefiles make includes make depends make make install and everything under the tree is made using some default target location gleaned from the X11 configuration. So if "lib/andrew" is a subdirectory of "/s/R5/contrib", it gets built with no modifications, using a reasonable default configuration. That is how most applications are built. All of the X11R5 official code and most of the contrib code builds this way. I suggest that andrew built under X11R5 gets put in something like this: #ifdef ProjectDir build andrew into ProjectDir/andrew/(bin,lib,include) #else build andrew into /usr/andrew(bin,lib,include) #endif Currently, Andrew and about 6 out of many contributions do not build this way. >Again - your perception of what should have been - does not align with >what our perception of what needed to be, was at the time this >distribution started - and we were never asked to change our heathen >ways in any of the subsequent distributions by the people who were in >charge of the distribution - so we never did. I understand that. I am raising the issue now in hopes that something more easily installed will be generated for the next go around. It is not for me that I ask this: I've built Andrew, I now understand its build procedure. I can build it again if necessary. The issue is for CMU, and it really depends on how widely distributed CMU wants Andrew to go. If it is hard for neophytes to generate an Andrew build, many will not. -- ____ \ /Dan Greening Software Transformation 1601 Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd, #100 \/dgreen@sti.com (408) 973-8081 x313 Cupertino, CA 95014 \enddata{text822, 350407} \begindata{text822, 354070} 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 ; Sat, 2 Nov 1991 15:12:09 -0500 (EST) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Fri, 1 Nov 1991 23:42:28 -0500 (EST) Received: from ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id for info-andrew; Fri, 1 Nov 91 23:42:04 EST Received: by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (5.63/1.42) id AA22818; Fri, 1 Nov 91 20:36:51 -0800 Received: from USENET by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU with netnews for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu (info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu) (contact usenet@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU if you have questions) Date: 29 Oct 91 10:26:30 GMT From: mcsun!cernvax!chx400!sicsun!disuns2!disuns2.epfl.ch!simon@uunet.uu.net (Simon Leinen) Organization: DI-LIA -- Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne Subject: Re: printing Message-Id: References: <10880@vela.acs.oakland.edu> Sender: info-andrew-request@andrew.cmu.edu To: info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu In article <10880@vela.acs.oakland.edu> schemers@vela.acs.oakland.edu (Roland Schemers III) writes: Is there anyone out there using Ultrix that can print and preview files?

Next (is there a FAQ for this group; I'm pretty sure this is one of them) :-< I'm trying to create a template from scratch by using EZ and "edit styles" on an empty document; I can't seem to make the characteristics of the global style actually take any effect on the body text as the help implies that it should (and as it does in the provided templates!) I expect I'll be red-faced when the answer comes but I'll just grin and bear it I guess, Nigel. \enddata{text822, 356156} \begindata{text822, 357935} Return-path: X-Andrew-Authenticated-as: 0;andrew.cmu.edu;Network-Mail Received: from po5.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, 2 Nov 1991 15:35:14 -0500 (EST) Received: from po2.andrew.cmu.edu via qmail ID ; Sat, 2 Nov 1991 14:34:54 -0500 (EST) Received: from ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU by po2.andrew.cmu.edu (5.54/3.15) id ; Sat, 2 Nov 91 14:11:15 EST Received: by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU (5.63/1.42) id AA20091; Sat, 2 Nov 91 10:45:19 -0800 Received: from USENET by ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU with netnews for info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu (info-andrew@andrew.cmu.edu) (contact usenet@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU if you have questions) Date: 29 Oct 91 06:46:06 GMT From: mcsun!unido!gmdzi!mayer@uunet.uu.net (Hans Mayer) Organization: GMD, St. Augustin, F.R.
