1614.0. "note 1470 saveset?" by TOOK::N_MORIN () Fri Oct 20 1989 13:05

    Hello,
    I have a question about the FT saveset (note 1470).
    
    I noticed a problem during the DECGKS 4.0 IVP. I entered the problem
    in the gks notes file.  Here's the dialog:
    
             <<< DSSDEV::PUBLIC$:[NOTES$LIBRARY]GKSNOTES.NOTE;2 >>>
                      -<  GKS - Graphical Kernel System  >-

Note 1359.0               Another 4.0 IVP error topic?                 4 replies

    Hello,
    I have read all the previous notes about the IVP for DECGKS 04.0
    failing and have been able to get the IVP to work (somewhat?).
    The thing that helped the most was to define the 
    GKS$WSTYPE %X010000D3. An error is generated very soon after 
    starting the IVP from a DECTERM window.
    
    X Toolkit Warning: Widget class Compressed_motion_window version
    mismatch: widget 7001 vs. intrinsics 11003
    
    What does this mean?
    
    After this error is generated the GKS icon shows up. The spirals are 
    displayed. The IVP delays and then crashes on exit.
    
    Has anyone seen the same thing? Any ideas to allow the IVP to run and
    not display any errors?
    
    Environment:
    	VAXstation 2000
    	VMS 5.2
    	DECWindows 2.0
    	DECGKS 4.0
    
    Thanks 
    Norm

	The problem is your version of DECwindows.  Late in DECwindows
	V2.0 field test, they broke something.  You might also be
	getting an ACCVIO on GKS$CLOSE_WS.  
	
	Supposedly both problems were to be fixed for SSB V2.0 of
	DECwindows.  What are you running?

    Now, does the saveset mentioned in 1470 contain the most current
    DECwindows 2.0? Is the problem mentioned in the reply fixed in 
    that saveset? Is there a workaround?
    When will the SSB saveset be available?
    I installed the 1470 saveset and still have the problem.
    Does anyone have any info? Is there anyone to contact to get 
    the SSB version of DECwindows? It's due out soon, isn't it?
    
    Thanks 
    Norm

    There was a DECwindows problem that caused the GKS IVP to ACCVIO
    during image rundown. It was broken in the kit announced in note 
    1470 and fixed in the SSB kit. The VMS V5.3 kit should be announced
    shortly, sorry I don't know the particulars.
    
    However, if you are seeing an "X Toolkit Warning: widget version
    mismatch" then this is not a DECwindows problem but rather a GKS
    problem.
