| 334.1 | Porting to OSF/Motif | WINERY::GRANT | Live free or WISH you had. | Tue Mar 07 1989 15:09 | 15 |
| There has been some discussion of this in the OSF notesfile (kp7, etc), you
might check there. BTW - that notesfile has gotten more interesting
recently.
My understanding is that since we were awarded the API, which is what
programmers use, the changes necessary to XUI/UIL applications will be
"minimal". The number of companies looking at XUI will put alot of pressure
on OSF to make sure that the API changes are indeed minimal. The SCO
announcement is an example of a company wanting to go to Motif and taking
XUI to get a head start.
BTW - Motif will not use click to focus. ;->

| 334.2 | "Click to focus" may be optional... | FUEL::graham | if ya want home cookin, stay home | Sun Mar 19 1989 01:30 | 20 |
| I have been using a snapshot of the HP/OSF Motif Window Manager for only
a couple of days...I see OSF has good reasons for their choice. the window
manager is very flexible...click to focus can be turned on ala dxwm-style,
or turned off ala uwm-style ( like style from X10.4 days).
Here is how its done from the .Xdefaults file...
for DECwindows 'dxwm-style":
*[Hp]wm.keyboardFocusPolicy: explicit
*[Hp]wm.interactivePlacement: False
for 'uwm-style":
*[Hp]wm.keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer
*[Hp]wm.interactivePlacement: True

| 334.3 | Where is the creature? | IO::MCCARTNEY | James T. McCartney III - DTN 381-2244 ZK02-2/N24 | Tue Mar 21 1989 14:54 | 6 |
| Is the HP/OSF/Motif window manager available from anywhere?
Dare anyone ask about a VMS version?

| 334.5 | And no, don't dare think about a VMS version... | MIPSBX::thomas | The Code Warrior | Tue Mar 21 1989 15:09 | 8 |
| It doesn't use a standard Xtoolkit but an extended X.V11R3 one (which
means all the VMS changes to Xt have to merged in). Plus it doesn't
contain any globaldefs/globalrefs.
It would be a non trivial effort to port to VMS. Instead use Ultrix. :-)
You could always run remotely under Ultrix and point it back to VMS
(actually it doesn't do too bad remotely).

| It indeed is possible to run hpwm remotely on an Ultrix system
to control windows on a VMS workstation. There are some problems
but it works well enough to get some feeling of the new style.
This is what i did.
1) stop window manager on the VMS system
2) on the ultrix system
# setenv DISPLAY node::
# hpwm &

| 334.8 | Motif for internal use.... | SICVAX::GRAHAM | if ya want home cookin, stay home | Sun Sep 24 1989 18:53 | 10 |
|
The OSF Motif toolkit, window manager and some demo programs
are now availaible for internal sampling.
Please note that the above items are not supported by Engineering.
Please refer to SUBWAY::MOTIF (note 7.*) for kit info.
There are pointers for documentation in the Motif Conference.
