- Does anyone know of a hack to apply phigs to OpenWin, or to get X11R5
- and NeWs running on the same machine to run phigs/X and Sunview
- applications simultaneously?
-
- I have an X application that makes phigs calls. I would like to find
- a way to run this application in OpenWindows, but I have been
- told that X11/NeWs does not include the phigs extensions. So
- the OpenWindows X server has no access to phigs. I just get
- errors whenever phigs functions are called when running under
- OpenWindows. Under X11R5, the application runs fine.
-
- I want to be able to run X and Sunview applications on the same display;
- hence OpenWindows.
-
- I am in desperate need of a quick fix, if possible, as my only alternative
- for a upcoming demo is to restart the appropriate window system for each
- application in turn. This would really suck.
-
- I'd appreciate any and all suggestions, no matter how whacked-out they
- sound.
