# ULTRIX notes

WorkMan was ported to ULTRIX by Chris Ross (cross@eng.umd.edu). Bug reports should still be sent to me at koreth@hyperion.com, though; I will forward ULTRIX-specific reports to Chris.

This program should compile and run under ULTRIX 4.2. You will need the XView toolkit, version 3.0 or higher. An ULTRIX port of XView is available from many sites via anonymous ftp. Use archie to find one near you. Neither Chris nor I can supply people with XView sources, so please don't ask.

You will need to use "imake" to build a Makefile suitable for ULTRIX; the supplied Makefile is tuned for Suns (though it isn't hard to adjust if you prefer not to use imake). The usual way of running imake is to type "xmkmf" and let it figure out all the parameters.

There is a WorkMan binary at ftp.hyperion.com:/WorkMan/ultrix.tar.Z if you can't find XView or don't want to bother installing it. You may need to install the OPEN LOOK fonts, though; they are available from ftp.hyperion.com as well as with the generic XView source distribution, available widely in the contrib section of X11R5. You do not need to build XView from source to get the fonts from the source distribution.

If you get an error like "Cannot open connection to window server", try any of several things:

1. Specify the font explicitly, e.g. "workman -fn lucidasans-12". If you don't have the OPEN LOOK fonts installed, try "Courier10" instead.
2. Set your DISPLAY environment variable to ":0.0".
3. Set your DISPLAY environment variable to "hostname:0" (substituting your display host for "hostname", of course).

Those are all the things ULTRIX people have reported as fixes. If they don't work, unfortunately there's not much I can do about it.

For those who'd like to read through the source, note that the ULTRIX- specific code is all contained in plat_ultrix.c.
