- After hectic months in school, finaly got some time for
- Linux. Wanted to upgrade from .98pl4 to .99pl1. Yes, this
- includes a jump to non-writable-strings. Had to replace
- few prgrams, but I thought xdm was pretty stable?
- It doesn't work in .99pl1, and I could not find any new
- binary( or linux sources). So has anyone got it to work
- and I am the only stupid one, or there is a real problem ?
- Needless to say I got it working in .98pl4. xdm-errors
- mentions that it couldn't get XOpenWindow and had to
- abort.
-
- On other note. From those dark MS-Windoze times I
- remember a cute comm program called UW (for windows).
- This program had two parts - one on Unix host and one for
- PS and MS-windoze. It let you have up to 7 sessions on
- one line, all in different windows. Something like
- screen, but packaged nicely in MSWindoze stuff. So you
- could be editing a file in one window and compile it in
- other. For record it also had other neaties like graphical
- Zmodem selecteble fonts, few term emulations etc.
- Has anyone done something similar for X11 ? I mean
- different sessions in different windows over one line ?
- I love Seyon, and that functionality seems to be the only
- missing part (suggestion, suggestion -;).
-
- Thanx to all guys in Linux.
