Incorporating .epsi files into TeX docs : failure
Can _you_ incorporate .epsi files into TeX docs and then make a viewable
.dvi? I can't ... please read on if you might be able to help ... thank you.
W98/SE. Current and complete installation. I start X like this:
1. Start -> Run -> start Xwin -multiwindow
2. Start -> Run -> run rxvt -display :0.0 -e bash
X applications work superbly. In particular latex and xdvi work just fine
(apart from irritating but otherwise ?inconsequential? error msg from xdvi
after quitting the viewer, being
fcntl F_SETOWN (xdvi): Invalid argument
I suppress this (if I want to) with
xdvi filename.dvi 2>/dev/null
However, I'm having trouble incorporating diagrams into a TeX document. In
draft mode there is no problem as in
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[draft]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
..
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\includegraphics{diagram.epsi}
\caption{This is a test diagram}
\end{figure}
..
\end{document}
which presents a nice maths-y page to screen with a 'holding rectangle'
containing text "diagram.epsi" in exactly the right place.
BUT if I omit the [draft] instruction ( ie just the sequence [draft] leaving
\usepackage{graphicx} ), then the command "latex testdoc.tex" is apparently
processed trouble-free but gives rise to a testdoc.dvi that is actually
_smaller_ than that resulting when in [draft] mode, and the command "xdvi
testdoc.dvi" EITHER flashes a .dvi briefly to screen which then vanishes OR
shows the .dvi up to but not including the diagram and then stalls with the
Windows eggtimer on screen. Pressing Quit gives the error msg
gs: Unknown device: x11
I realise this may be a user-generated TeX problem, but I have tried
everything to get this to work, and the fact that in [draft] mode it does
work, suggests that at least something, if not everything, is set correctly
... the error msg just described also suggests that maybe I'm setting
something up wrong that is X-related? Even in lines 1. and 2. maybe ...
By the way, the .epsi file is created from an original .dvi using
dvips diagram.dvi # to make diagram.ps
ps2epsi diagram.ps # to make diagram.epsi
Thank you for any help you can offer, if you routinely manage this
successfully.
Fergus
Re: Incorporating .epsi files into TeX docs : failure
Thank you very much indeed. I put /usr/X11R6/bin/ before /usr/bin/ in the PATH so that the gs.exe I wanted was picked up before the other gs.exe I didn't want. Now it all works perfectly. I'll leave PATH defined like this (i.e. with the transposition). There may be other consequences, not all good, since I don't always start XWin ... we'll see. Thanks again. Fergus

Re: Xwin remote calls to Solaris machines/ font server bug
Dr.D.J.Picton wrote: I have two observations to make concerning the use of 'XWin -query' to Solaris machines. 1. Firstly, the FAQ states that Solaris can't cope with 24-bit colour depths. This may have been true for older releases, but all recent versions of Solaris (and recent Sun hardware) support this depth! 2. The FAQ refers to the 'hang' when you attempt to contact a remote Solaris host using XWin -query e.g. Xwin -query sunhost The cure is to specify a Solaris font server on the command line, e.g. XWin -query sunhost -fp tcp/sunhost:7100 However, this shouldn't be necessary for recent Solaris releases. The XSetup script on the Sun machine automatically adds the font server to the font path, before the dtlogin window appears. Okay, so people running newer versions of Solaris won't look at the FAQ. No problem there. The real reason for the problem is a bug in XWin, which 'hangs' if I try to mix local fonts with a Solaris font server. The following procedures work OK: 1. Start up an XWin server with normal local fonts, then replace them with a Solaris font server: xset fp= tcp/sunhost:7100 2. Start up an Xwin server with -fp tcp/sunhost:7100 on the command line. 3. Add a second Solaris font server when the fontpath already contains one. The following procedures cause a 'hang': 1. Start up an XWin server with normal local fonts, then append a Solaris font server: xset fp+ tcp/sunhost:7100 2. Start up an XWin server with -fp tcp/sunhost:7100 on the command line, then try to append a local font to the path: xset fp+ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc I am inclined to believe you. However, I do not have a Solaris machine that I can test this with. It would be most helpful if either yourself or someone with a similar setup could build a debug version of XWin.exe and step through this until they find the hang. Thanks, Harold
RE: DDD dies on me
It is definitely XWin that is crashing. I seem to have had some mental
block when I wrote the last message because I could swear I had said it died
in 24 bit, but the text doesn't lie... I will try putting a bunch of ErrorF
statements in and send the resulting log file ASAP. Thanks.

From: "Andrew Braverman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
A while ago (beginning of June, I think), I posted a note to this group that
..
to figure out that the program occurred in winScaleXBitmapToWindows in
winmultiwindowicons.c. I ran three consecutive tests and two of those three
caused a segfault in the free at the end of the procedure (actually in
mktime??? called by free). The iconData mallocs at the beginning of the
procedure seem to align correctly with the frees at the end. The last
caused a segfault in fb24_32BltUp which is called from the miGetImage at the
beginning of the procedure. Seeing that, I decided to try the program in 16
bit color and everything was fine. For the first time, I was able to see
that this program does display its own icon on the title bar. Does anyone
(Earle?) have any suggestions about where I should start digging? In any
case, I will try to do a little more digging over the next week or so.

A silly question, it is XWin.exe that's SEGVíng and not DDD.exe, correct?
And what was the screen depth (8/15/16/24/32) you were running that
caused the bomb?
Also, could you add some ErrorF()s to dump all local variables to the
/tmp/XWin.log file, as well as the pixmap->drawable structure elements,
too? [ErrorF() works just like printf() so just ErrorF("varX=%d\n",varX);
is all that's needed...] Posting the info it spits out before a SEGV would
go a long way towards debugging this...
The most likely culprit is that one of the conversions is overwriting the
Windows icon data that it's allocated, causing bad stuff to happen later
on. You can see how I switch between the possible formats on
effXBPP and effBPP(the Windoze BPP we're converting to), possibly not
all cases have been tested, *especially* 8-bit modes.

emacs menubar not working
Hi I normally use RedHat to dev. FORTRAN programs, but dowloaded cygwin; full package to develop the programs there instead. I use Emacs as editor. My problem is 1) I cannot use the menu in Emacs. I have tried to add a 'tty export' key in registry (why I dont really know, but it was recommended in some mail I read), but it does not help. 2) There is no color-coding for .f files. I.e when I write 'implicit none', this usually turn green. Can cygwin provide similar programming environment as Redhat does? _ MSN Messenger http://www.msn.no/messenger - Den korteste veien mellom deg og dine venner

Ask your login server admin if there is a special entry for your host in the config file.
