My mistake then. When I first read Corel's plans several months ago I thought Wine was going to be used for CorelDraw and other programs until those ports were done and that Office would be Linux native. It may have been wishful thinking on my part since WordPerfect was already ported.

[SLE] Strange putenv
by stefan.troeger＠wirtschaft.tu-chemnitz.de 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

Hi, when compiling maildrop (a mail filter) on SuSE 6.4 I noticed that putenv is declared as extern int putenv __P ((char *__string)); not as extern int putenv __P ((__const char *__string)); as I thought it should be. Is this some kind of new feature I didn't know of or just an ordinary bug?

There is a little more to it. I have Lynx working fine and I have neither wvdial nor kppp working. Lynx works fine on my local Apache even without pppd working.

I hardly imagine that any program will be able to usefully display all colours in a single screen, and show their names as well. I do not know `xcolors', but maybe a useful tool would allow clicking on one little colored square among many others packed on a single screen, and replicate that color in a wider area, while giving its name only then. There might be another thing to consider, also. If you use a limited number of bit-planes (8 is rather common), colours may be rendered approximatively. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

>>>>> "pwa" == Paul W Abrahams <abrahams(a)valinet.com> writes: Oh, the joy of the world of X resources... You want to play with the command 'editres'. It's part of the X distribution, so you should have it. X resources are hierarchical. Capitalization matters. The below sets the foreground of _every_ widget that does not have a more specific resorce to black. This is the elephant gun approach. It also works, and is very easy. Try running editres, and using the "Commands => Get Tree" menu option. Then click in some Xt application. Netscape is a good candidate. You'll see the widget tree. Select a node in the tree, and "Commands => Show Resource Box". Start playing. The 'editres' man page is good. There's a section on X resources in the X11 man page. Search for "RESOURCES". Also, the 'xrdb' man page is worth reading. This is one of the most flexible, functional, configurable, and confusing parts of X. ericb pwa> Stefan Troeger wrote: >> Hi, >> >> On Thu, Mar 30 2000 at 10:41 -0500, Paul W.

[SLE] Acrobat Reader widget classes?
by abrahams＠valinet.com 31 Mar '00

31 Mar '00

I'd like to change the colors used in Acrobat Reader's menus from that hard-to-read black on gray to something else. I assume I can do that by putting the appropriate incantations in .Xresources. Does anyone know what the correct name of the resource is?
