MISCELLANEOUS:
==============
There are some scripts in bin that run the various Look and Feel GUIS for you
vtcli -c -> CHARM
vtcli -m -> Motif
vtcli -w -> Wintif
Alternative ways to get to these different display types:
To start the Wintif GUI engine
set the environ variable VTCL_WINTIF before running the vtcl interpreter
- This starts up a different binary server than that for Motif
(Note: be aware that this will probably not be the same method used to
select the Wintif GUI on Everest systems )
To start the CHARM GUI engine
set the environ variable CHARM before running the vtcl interpreter
( or unset the DISPLAY environment variable )
The Motif Rendering engine is used by default if the DISPLAY environment
variable is set
Character Motif (Charm):
CHARM uses curses and the Open Server terminfo setups for
scoterm (ansi) and xterm (xterm) are somewhat deficient.
There are replacement terminfo files in the distribution
in usr/lib/charm/terminfo
