12: Subject: full dope on 'fdevelop -l<n>' [anim]...
13:
14: I caused problems for myself by abusing the -l flag; e.g.,
15:
16: set count=`wc -l < $infile` # C-shell
17: @ count = $count + 1
18: $bin/fdevelop -l$count $infile >! $outfile
19:
20: The number passed in is used as the length of the output file, too.
21: Since the output file often has more lines than the input file, I
22: ended up walking off the end of the output array, clobbering things,
23: and getting bogus error messages.
24:
25: You may wish to warn against such use of '-l' and/or add more checks
26: on walking off the end of the output array.
27:
28: I got into this because I routinely have biggish script files (> 20Klines)
29: and expect them to get bigger...

46: Subject: color on sun [anim]
47:
48: I confess I have been hacking on your code to make it do color on a
49: sun3/110... 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.

87: thanks for the feedback. let me speak to howard trickey again
88: about the x stuff. last time he was definitely up to his
89: eyeballs in other things.
90:
91: Appreciate the encouraging word. 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.

112: Subject: 'anim'ing in North Carolina
113:
114: This note is to keep you posted on what we've done to your code.
115:
116: We do X10.4 on both Suns and Microvaxes. 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.
