- Just to let you know I got the following which got MacX and Openwindows
- working for me. And now am able to also do ARC programs with pulldown menus
- just fine. Others on the net may find it of interest. First I run an Xterm
- session from MacX
-
-
- Script to run an xterm sessin from which I do the following
-
- /sgs/openwin/bin/xterm -ls -title "(host xterm" -sb -display "(display"
- -geometry 580x350+0+17
-
- Once I execute the first 3 lines I get an openwindows session in my rooted
- Xterm window. I don't seem to get the Openwindow menus though with mouse
- control and the settings that MacX allows for the other two buttons. But
- for what I wanted to do that does not appear to be a problem. The xterm
- window becomes a window on the Openwindows desktop by the way from where I
- type my next commands. One crucial thing. When I typed Arc6 to run Arc 6.0
- I found that the pathname to my arc libraries was now not running probably
- because of the setenv command for the Openwindows libarry. I thought well
- perhaps I needed another csh to to that (sorta off the top of my head don't
- ask me why that came to me <grin>) I typed csh and the command window
- (which had been the xterm window that became a window on the rooted
- openwindows screen now was a csh and arc6 ran fine, no lockup like we
- experienced. I then typed my program in arc to (an aml) to run my
- editsession in arcedit and it ran (som message about limited colors) and
- then put openwindow pulldown menus, and I am editing just fine so far with
- no problems in arcedit!!!!. The only thing Is that I don't know yet what
- will happen when I exit all this and try to quit openwindows since I don't
- appear to get the openwindows pulldown menus. Will have to work on that I
- guess. Probably need to execut a command to do it perhaps?

- Hi,
-
- Here's a listing of my script with which I start olwm and two applications.
- Before executing this script, I have made a connection from mac to sun
- by invoking an xterm window in MacX.
-
- setenv OPENWINHOME /usr/openwin
- setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH $OPENWINHOME/lib
- $OPENWINHOME/bin/olwm -single &
- toolwait mailtool -Wp 0 0 -Ws 585 206 -WP 26 698 -Wi
- toolwait printtool -Wp 30 30 -Ws 416 433 -WP 107 701 -Wi -P " PrintServer
- 20 Postscript"
-
- It is important to run olwm in the -single mode.
-
- Hope this helps.
