We have encounted _AND_ reported a number of bugs to Sun but the most fatal one is that OpenWindows 2.0 seem to have a bug in the multi server support - it terminates with an error (Source code is available (from me) if you want to have a go)! Is there a multi server _XView_ program running out there? NOTE: multi server means that _one_ program create windows on _several_ servers and when somebody press a button in a window the callback routine for that button is envoked (You may define the same callback for a button in all the windows if you want!) Hi Leif, You are correct. Multi-server support in XView 2.0 is broken. However in the next release of the XView (no I don't know when that will be, so don't ask ;-), this will be fixed. You will be able to have windows on multiple servers, screens and visuals all in the same application. --Darren -- Darren Austin | Actually, it's a buck and a quarter Windows and Graphics Software | staff, but I'm not going to tell Sun Microsystems, Mountain View | *him* that. dmaustin@sun.com |
