- Thanks for your kind words. One minor note, though: it is not Seyon
- that puts the file there. The Imake file has just a line like this:
-
- InstallAppDefaults(Seyon)
-
- Believe it or not, that's all Seyon (and all other X applications that
- use Imake files) has about the location of the app-defaults file. It
- is up to the imake config files to place it in the right location,
- which is of course system-dependent (hence the convenience of Imake
- files. When you type xmkmf, the make file is created according to the
- above instructions and the information in the imake templates. so if
- the imake templates are inaccurate, the app-defaults file will be
- misplaced
-
- Versions 1.75 and up of Seyon no longer really need the app-defaults
- file (except for color) since they have fallback resources. At any
- rate, I'm enclosing a file called Makefile.SLS with newer versions of
- Seyon, so users of SLS can skip xmkmf and just rename Makefile.SLS to
- Makefile (I'm assuming in that file that SLS puts the X shared libs in
- /usr/X386/lib/jump; SLS users, set me straight if that's not so).
-
- Version 1.8 is due soon. It will have many new features, including a
- totally revamped dialing directory, and the ability to set the dialing
- parameters (number of bits, parity, stop bits ..etc.). If you want to
- beta-test it, you can get 1.7? from sipb.mit.edu under
- /pub/seyon/new-beta.

- All the best,
