Re: Mersenne: GUI for Linux
Forcing Linux users to run X just to be able to admin a program is in my opinion quite silly. Agreed What I really like about mprime is that it makes almost no demands on what other crud is installed on the machine already. True enough If you really want to gui for Linux, do it the Linux way and write one yourself instead of asking others to do it. - or simply have a console window come up execute "mprime -d" when you start X? I've no objection to anyone writing a fancy front-end for mprime, but I hope the existing "minimalist" version will be retained ... if only because the great beauties of linux are its incredible stability and the minimal configuration needed to run it, the first is reduced and the second vanishes as soon as you need to run X.

I run both prime95/mprime in Win95/linux O.S. using the same directory and files (except the executable file, of course). 99% of iterations are made by mprime, 1% by prime95. Actually, I only use prime95 like an administartion tool to configure the *.ini files. I know I can do that simply editing the files... but I like GUI in prime95. I wrote a small tcl program to keep the last 25 lines of mprime's output in a file. I am planning to write a tcl/tk program to look at that file and tell me when mprime wants to connect and, having connected, when it's finished so that I can disconnect. But I don't know how to change the parameters of a running mprime. Can I open mprime bidirectionally from the tcl program and pass it commands? Or could mprime be modified to listen to some port, and then I could run a client to get at its menu? I run it as root, from rc.local, before any consoles are gotty. phma Unsubscribe list info -- http://www.scruz.net/~luke/signup.htm
