- If you are running OpenWindows in the SunView compatibility mode, you can run
- overview (or any other SunView program such as /bin/textedit). Just type
-
- overview opencds
-
- You don't actually need OpenWindows (we use Motif), but you do need to run the
- "xnews" server which comes with OpenWindows, not "Xsun" from MIT. You also
- need to run the command "svenv" in your .xinitrc file (see the man page on this
- for details), eg:
-
- eval `svenv -env`
-
- WARNING:
-
- Due to a bug in OpenWindows, the FIRST time you go into Edge the keyboard
- mapping is all wrong. The workaround for this is to press "Undo" - this acts
- like CTRL-Z and gets you out. The second time you enter Edge you are all right.
- (We edited a copy of /usr/share/src/sun/sunview1/overview.c to get round this.)
