3331.0. "MIT/SUN GAME NEEDED FOR VMS PROBLEM" by BLKPUD::THOMASA (Wow I,ve got a colour ....) Tue Sep 11 1990 08:34

Hi all,
	Is anyone aware of a place on our network where the MIT distribution
tape is stored on-line ? The reason I ask is that there is a game called Mazewar
which has a workaround to the problem discussed at length in note  3217 regarding
using XNextEvent on an empty input event queue then firing client messages from
an AST which are ignored

	Apparently the sources for this game (winX11.c) have some code that uses
XPending and XNextEvent to avoid calling XNextEvent with 0 events on the queue
and then uses the number returned from the ConnectionNumber(display)
macro to wait for something to arrive on the input event queue which apparantly
does detect AST client messages OK. by using $Waitfr with the connection number

I have the MIT sources mounted off the Ultrix system and mazewar is part of that
distribution.

You can find it:

Hmm starbd is 62.972 which is hidden unless you are in ZK so use yrdarm instead
