What's the status of xzwrite? It seems to have disappeared from
/afs/sipb/project/sipbsrc/src. What ever happened to your changes, Sal?
~svalente/src/xzwrite, where it's been sitting for quite a while.
Does anyone mind if we install Sal's enhanced version
Not at all. :-)
(adds a couple features like logging, random signatures,
True, but the only feature I consider to be important is that the
editor starts up in 80 columns regardless of the font used.
and fixes a bug under linux (and maybe AIX), as I remember)?
I fixed the bug incorrectly. This was my interpretation of the bug:
the XawAsciiSourceFreeString() call was dumping core on Keesh. I
couldn't find any documentation of that call anywhere, but it seemed
to work on the other platforms, so I assumed that it was being given
legal arguments, and that it was a bug in the porting of the Xaw
library to linux, and I just put #ifndef linux around every call to
XawAsciiSourceFreeString().
Well, it was recently reported on athena-bugs that
XawAsciiSourceFreeString actually takes a char*, not a widget. I
think I fixed it correctly in the source in my homedir now, but I
haven't actually tested it on Keesh yet.
Have a nice day.
