879.0. "Terminal Server Icon Name" by CCIIS1::ROGGEBAND (_ �hili��e _) Mon Apr 08 1991 09:28

Hello,

This is actually a reply to topic 846 but as replies on that note have been 
disabled... Mr. (miss ?) Moderator, please move this if you can...

Well, I've done what I threatened to do, I issued the following commands under
DAP : 

$ MANAGE/TOOL/DICT

DAP>Use Class terminal_server
DAP>SET DEFINITION CODE 6 TYPE T COUNT 1 LENGTH 9 -
  VALUE "DECserver"
DAP>exit

$ MANAGE/TOOL/PARSE

.... (have a coffee break)....

I had to rename the Icon, as mentionned in one of the replies to note 846. I
also had to create a MCC_DECserver_BackTranslation directory, which meant
deregistering all know terminal servers, and re-registering them as DECservers.

I wouldn't really recommend doing this as :

a) I suppose it's unsupported (?)

b) The documentation doesn't match commands any more, as I now have to type 

 MCC> SHOW DECserver XYZ ...

But it works, and I now have a clean toolbox display.

On the other hand, it's ok for demo purposes, and can be used as an argument 
in favour of the "openness" of the product !

Cordialement,

879.1	thanks	TOOK::CALLANDER		`Mon Apr 08 1991 12:21`	10
	Thanks for trying it out. Glad to hear it did work. Note 846 will remain locked since the note seemed to have progressed to its logical conclusion... a future committment to fix the iconic map handling of long entity class names (BTW: John Egolf who answered that note is the senior manager for DECmcc, what he says goes). An aside; there are several moderators of this conferences. The most active are myself (and that is a Mrs, "Mr. (miss ?) Moderator") and John Egolf.

879.3	Intermittent overwrite of text..	SIOG::TINNELLY	Round the house and mind the dresser..	`Wed Jul 17 1991 05:51`	12
	Hello, I have noticed that when I bring up the toolbox, that I am getting an overwrite with the Domain and Bridge text. ie. the N in domain is slightly overwriting the B in Bridge, and also the N in STATION is overwriting the N in NODE4. This seems to be happening intermittently when i bring up the Toolbox, sometimes it is OK. Have you seen this? regards peter

	Hi Peter, I have never known this to be intermittent but we did fix the positioning problems for v1.2. Is your server using 75 or 100 dpi? Fred
879.5	Working on the 75 DPI !!	SIOG::TINNELLY	Round the house and mind the dresser..	`Thu Jul 18 1991 08:56`	12
	Well spotted, I know now why it is intermittent, is because I have a VT340 on my desk, so I have been firing it up on different peoples workstations when free. So I have pinpointed that it is working on several DECSTATION 3100 with 16" colour monitor i.e a VR297-D3. It is overwriting on the 19" screen. It is difficult to tell from ULTRIX which fonts are being used, as it shows both the 75 and 100 dpi installed. How can I tell which font is being used, is this a question for the ULTRIX notesfile.? many thanks Peter.

	Peter, Use xset to find out the server's characteristics; xset is part of the UNSUPPORTED savesets in Ultrix 4.2. If xset is installed, you should be able to find it in /usr/bin/X11. xset -q Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 50 LED mask: 00000000 . . . Font Path: /usr/lib/X11/fonts/decwin/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/apps/75dpi/ . . . The sample output above shows the server is using 75dpi fonts. \david.
