The basics are working. ! 50: ! 51: Substantive changes included rearranging the colors in the table in ! 52: 'fdevelop.c' and using two bytes (instead of one) to store options in ! 53: the "ip" array in 'sunterm.c'. Of course, I will be happy to send you ! 54: the code; it is not production-quality... ! 55: ! 56: The matter of X code again... I recently found out I will have an ! 57: X-speaking microvax on my desk by the end of the year, so increased ! 58: interest. Might it be possible to get your (presumably non-working) ! 59: code? I absolutely guarantee we won't need "support". We have a fair ! 60: amount of Xpertise here, and you might get working (X11?) code out of ! 61: it... ! 62: ! 63: Two other homebrew animation systems have popped up here lately; so ! 64: far, yours is cleaning up, esp. in terms of speed. ! 65: ! 66: Will "Cecil B. de" Partain ! 67: [email protected] ! 68: (919)962-1873 ! 69: ! 70: From research!duke!unc!partain Thu Sep 17 18:39:12 1987 ! 71: Received: from mercury (mercury.cs.unc.edu) by duke.cs.duke.edu (5.54/DUKE/2-1-87) ! 72: id AA24197; Thu, 17 Sep 87 18:39:12 EDT ! 73: Received: from john by mercury (4.12/4.7) ! 74: id AA16394; Thu, 17 Sep 87 18:45:11 edt ! 75: Received: by john (1.2/4.7) ! 76: id AA27744; Thu, 17 Sep 87 18:35:25 edt ! 77: Date: Thu, 17 Sep 87 18:35:25 edt ! 78: From: William D.

What I have in mind is an absolutely ! 92: "as is" basis -- no extra comments, no README file, no nothing. ! 93: Just the files in the directory and some word whether they are ! 94: believed to compile or not. The rest is my problem. ! 95: ! 96: Will Partain ! 97: [email protected] ! 98: (919)962-1873 ! 99: ! 100: From duke!dopey!partain Fri Dec 18 14:44:25 1987 ! 101: Received: from mercury (mercury.cs.unc.edu) by duke.cs.duke.edu (5.54/DUKE/10-20-87) ! 102: id AA28433; Fri, 18 Dec 87 14:44:25 EST ! 103: Received: from john by mercury (4.12/4.7) ! 104: id AA02323; Fri, 18 Dec 87 14:05:35 est ! 105: Received: by john (1.2/4.7) ! 106: id AA05100; Fri, 18 Dec 87 14:05:25 est ! 107: Date: Fri, 18 Dec 87 14:05:25 est ! 108: From: William D.

We do color (the 8 colors in ! 117: fdevelop.c) on both X and Sunwindows. I believe we do different sized ! 118: text on both. That's about all we need on our project. I would _not_ ! 119: call it production-quality hackery (at least my part). ! 120: ! 121: Holler if you want it; moreover, you may send others my way, if you ! 122: wish. I hope you have a festive holiday season. ! 123: ! 124: Will Partain ! 125: [email protected] ! 126:
