=== Xcluster/cview ===========================================================
tested on vax, rt, mips, rios (although I couldn't finish linking
xcluster -- the libraries are missing from the x11 locker, *please
fix*), mac (and sun :-)
cview is basically unchanged, but xcluster is radically different from
the last release. it now allows resizing of the window, with the map
redrawn to the new size of the window. it also displays all cluster
information at once, thus allowing users to see where all free
vaxstations are, for example. furthermore, it is based on the same
"toolkit" that dash uses, therefore it is much more configurable than
the last version, as it accepts lots and lots of resources (too many to
document).
pick up all of:
/mit/xmit/release/src
manpages have changed as well and are included.
although it is based on the same toolkit as dash, some of the files with
the same name as those in dash are different in order to support the
functionality needed by xcluster. at some future point, the changes
will be merged back into the dash sources and perhaps Xj will become a
real library that many programs can link against instead of having to
have each program carry around a copy of the necessary sources...
=== Dash changes (to make it default) ========================================
can't test this, really, until friendly test goes out...
changes are that dash menubar comes up by default, and the console
window is moved down. also moved is initial_xterm, and olh (check with
Lucien to make sure he concurs with this change, as that is his project,
and changes should be approved by him, methinks).
pick up:
/mit/dash/src/Console
and /mit/dash/src/Dash
these app-defaults file replace the ones you picked up previously.
change:
/usr/athena/lib/init/xsession, line 124
from: (xterm -geometry 80x48+0+0 &)
to: (xterm -geometry 80x48+0+30 &)
change:
Olh.cpp in the olh build tree --
line 52
from: Olh.geometry: +0+0
to: Olh.geometry: +0+30
line 290
from: *textView.geometry: -0+0

Thanks,
