Re: Alternative Displays

[Neil Martin]

Foxboro's touchscreen CRTs have a touchscreen unit in them that is made by
MicroTouch.  Foxboro has someone outfit the CRTs with the touchscreens.
Even more difficult is the thought that I believe the touchscreen
controller is not located in the CRT chassis.  I believe it is located in
the GCIO.  You will need to deal with someone that can provide a CRT that
has touchscreen hardware in it that is compatible with the GCIO.

 Foxboro screens (historically) are actually made by Sony Corp. You

 supported if you have a service contract.

When we converted to I/A about six years ago, we got the big Sony monitors
with the touch screen option.  They are great to work with and the
operators
really like them.  Apparently they have a life span of about six years of
continuous use.  We have burned out seven of them in the past three months
and at this rate I don't expect the rest of them to last much longer.  I've

got 15 more displays to replace.  Soon.

I know that there are video display options besides the Foxboro offerings,
but I have yet to see any with a touch screen.  Have any of you found a
viable replacement?

Foxboro offers replacements, but $3000 is a lot to pay for a 20" TV set
that
only gets one channel --- even if you can use the screen as a remote.

Get touchscreens from MicroTouch. Foxboro does.

[David Johnson]

If I remember correctly, the Foxboro/Sun/Sony monitors were outfitted by 
the touchscreen by a third party outfit.  I remember seeing their corporate 
sticker on some of the touchscreens we bought from Foxboro.  I remember 
they were in MA and I think that it might have been
http://www.microtouch.com/mthtml/06a3_success-stories.htm
since micro touch list Foxboro as one of their success stories.

[James Kahlden]

Chuck,

We use the 20 inch Sony monitors model GDM-20E01 with the touch screens.  I have found 
two different sources that can rebuild the monitors with CRT tubes that each company 
manufactures.  One is Vartech Displays, Inc. 11301 Industriplex Boulevard Suite 4, 
Baton Rouge, LA 70809. Ph 800-223-8050 or 225-298-0300. Web site 
www.vartechdisplays.com.  The other is Quest International, Inc. 65 Parker, Irvine CA 
92618.  Phone 800-231-6777. Website www.questinc.com.  I haven't looked into finding a 
new replacement as of yet only the repair of what we have.

Re: Searching for lost environment variables

List,

OK, I got it. Like Warren Brown suggested, I scammed a bunch of lines from 
the /etc/rc2.d/S99FOXBORO script.  I chopped out what looked like startup 
code for OpenWindows and was left with a bunch of
VAR=stuff; export VAR
lines.  That was just what I wanted.

Thank you all.

Re: Searching for lost environment variables

[Warren Brown]

Hi

You don't say explicitly but I assume you mean an AW51.

Since the startup scripts start the olwm on bootup and
the olwm is the parent of the cmdtool, what you are
seeing is the result of all the parent processes
that have led to the olwm startup.  Most of the
environment variables are set in S99FOXBORO
in the /etc/rc2.d directory.

Does that help ?

Searching for lost environment variables

[Winston Jenks]

List,

Apparently losing things is all the rage now.  I have lost my environment 
variables.  When I start the cmdtool from the olwm desktop I get all kinds 
of good variables like MANPATH, etc.  But when I log in as root from 
another machine I just get what is defined in the likes of /etc/profile, 
~/.profile, ~/.cshrc and ~/.login (depending on my shell).

So I am led to believe that these environment variables that appear in the 
cmdtool are inherited from the process that started it.  Where does that 
guy get his variables?
