- The author of aXe suggested to me that I try the following to fix aXe as
- it was running on another machine. It worked so well there that I tried
- it on my RS. aXe was working before, but there was a little warning about
- it being able to find an XtCallBack on exit. The first of the fixes below
- corrected that error. Those who are having trouble with core dumps on
- exit (as I was on the other machine) might well find that this fixes that
- problem also.
-
- Be sure to install the X defaults before you try to run it. Some say to also
- install the help files, but I am uncertain that that is necessary.
-
- this is a great boon to users who can't handle emacs. rather than have
- them run vi, which adds 0 to their ability to use emacs (IMHO -based on my
- own experience), this has key bindings identical to emacs as accelerators for
- the menu items.
-
- Her's the fix(s). I used the first one, but the other will also probably
- help matters. I don't think both are needed.

- This is just an empirical shot in the dark, but it might be worth a try.
-
- In Destroy in FileNom.c try moving the line
-
- XtDestroyWidget(Child(fnw,filename));
-
- to the top of the list of similar calls.
-
- Another solution, which will probably also work and the author will apply to
- later versions (3.0.2 will be out soon)
-
- In Destroy in FileNom.c, Add:
-
- XtSetKeyboardFocus(Child(fnw,viewport), (Widget) 0);
- before embarking on the sequence of XtDestroyWidget calls.
