WorkMan was ported to HPUX by John Brezak (brezak@apollo.hp.com).
18
This program should compile and run on series 700 machines under HPUX
21
You will need the XView toolkit, version 3.0 or higher. An HPUX port
22
of XView is available from many sites via anonymous ftp. Use archie to
23
find one near you. Neither John nor I can supply people with XView
24
sources, so please don't ask. ftp.csc.liv.ac.uk is one place you'll
25
find XView for the HP, though I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you
26
tried to find a closer site before using theirs.
28
There is a WorkMan binary at ftp.hyperion.com:/WorkMan/hp700.tar.Z if
29
you can't find XView or don't want to bother installing it.
31
You may also need to install the OPEN LOOK fonts to use this program.
32
They are available from ftp.hyperion.com as well as with the generic
33
XView source distribution, available widely in the contrib section of
34
X11R5. You do not need to build XView from source to get the fonts
35
from the source distribution. They're included in the XView tarfiles
38
The supplied Makefile (Makefile.hpux) will need to be tweaked to point
39
to your XView include files and libraries. You might also be able to
40
generate a valid Makefile with "imake". I haven't tested that.
44
You'll want to put the following in your X resources:
46
openWindows.windowColor: #CCCCCC
48
Make "/dev/rscsi" a link to the CD-ROM's raw disk device. For
49
instance, if your CD-ROM drive is at SCSI target number 2, you'd do
52
ln -s /dev/rdsk/c201d2s0 /dev/rscsi
54
Or, if you prefer, use the "-c" option when running the program to
55
tell it to use a device name other than /dev/rscsi.
57
To use the program's spot help, you'll need to define a Help key,
58
since there isn't one on the HP keyboard. Use the "xmodmap" program to
59
do it. For instance, the following will define the numeric keypad's
60
"0" key as the help key:
62
xmodmap -e "keysym KP_0 = Help"
64
Once you have a Help key defined, position the mouse pointer over a
65
control and hit the key. For this to work, you will either need to
66
install the "workman.info" file in /usr/lib/help or set your HELPPATH
67
environment variable to point to the directory where the .info file
70
For those who'd like to read through the source, note that the
71
HPUX-specific code is contained in plat_hpux.c.
73
The authoritative guide to controlling the HP CD-ROM drive (which is
74
actually a Toshiba XM3301) is the Toshiba XM3301 User's Manual. If you
75
want to look at it, contact Toshiba.
79
When there's no CD in the drive, WorkMan is very slow. As far as I can
80
tell, this is a hardware limitation -- the drive takes a long time to
81
respond when there's no CD present, and WorkMan is stuck waiting for
82
the response in the meantime. If anyone knows a workaround, please get
83
in touch with me. You can run with "-ee" if you find this behavior
84
annoying (see the man page).
86
The mwm window manager (a derivative of which is used as the VUE
87
window manager) chops off part of the WorkMan icon. This is an mwm
88
problem; I'm not aware that there's anything I can do to tell mwm to
89
give the icon more room.
