Hi Keith, The changes which Rick Beldin mentioned related to extension decoding in xscope don't currently have an MIT license on them, but I should be able to get that done. (I hadn't done it previously since the rest of xscope didn't have an MIT license, as you've already noted.) The changes involved adding an mini-infrastructure to decode extension requests, replies, errors, and events, so that extensions can be added easily and in a modular fashion. At the time, this did what I wanted with the least impact to the original source code. I'm sure others who have added extension tracing have made similar changes. I've added some extensions, but I didn't fully decode them all (i.e. one only prints out the names of the requests and replies, but it doesn't decode all of the information in each request/reply). I think I also threw in some code to account for improperly encoded reply lengths. There was also a potential overflow problem which I found when decoding some large replies (such as XListFontsWithInfo() with lots of fonts present and XGetImage() for really large images). I found "a" fix for it, but it often only defers the problem, so I'd hesitate to call it "the" fix. If there's interest, I can work to get this contributed under the proper license. -paul _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
