always managed to iterate to a new successful joint syntax
XWin arguments
xterm arguments
but this time I am totally stymied.
Can anybody offer me a working syntax please?
Thank you.

Or, if I know what it is, can I divert it or otherwise turn it off?
(Oh woe woe woe. I've lost count of the things that worked so easily on
1.5 and somehow don't on 1.7, this start command on a portable CD being
one of the list.)

PS It kills me not to copy this to cygwin at cygwin dot com which I feel
will have a much wider readership and skill set amongst that readership,
but anybody sinning in this regard is always referred straight to
Cygwin-X. A strange
/release?
2 If not then (I am sorry) I do not know how to introduce a patch into
an existing executable.
Something like: unwrap src, change os/utils.c, rebuild?
If this is something everybody in the world except me knows, can you
direct me to a howto?
Thanks again.

I am sure (and I am very appreciative that Corinna and Jon took this up
and responded to me) but I guess it just isn't for me.
Thank you. If meanwhile you can point me somewhere for a solution to the
lost colour schemes, I would be very grateful.

PS Not quite finally. Can I please ask a 4th question:
Q4 Why are questions about X specifically directed to a different
mailing list? Apart from occasional high-frequency dialogue as at
present, posts about X are (or seem to me to be) no more
/xserver/en_US/en_US
This seems to me to cause havoc with file handling resulting in multiple
error msgs No such file or directory or Too many levels of symbolic
links.

(8MB, Goodness knows why) and takes a long time to load but does not
present the error msgs after viewing.
My fix is to use the command structure
xpdf filename.pdf 2/dev/null
which effectively mutes the error messages but this is not quite
optimal.
Thanks.

rename new location to old.

Any good, do you think?
Fergus
If you wanted to run a fresh installation with just these packages, and
without the effort of picking them, then this too can be contrived, but
that's another story. Do you?
This works for me on W98 on a non-networked machine:
bash
run XWin -nolisten local -multiwindow
should do it. Then if you want to run xterm (say) just use
xterm -display localhost:0.0
HTH.

Xman ...

Anybody else get this? Do I need to do something simple to correct this
behaviour?
Fergus
pointless question, but _why_ does
XWin require internet access??!! and, are there other / better switches I
should or could be using than -nolisten local to render the application
useable on a non-networked machine?
Thanks,

PS. Despite several efforts to identify the rules going on here, I can find
no easy way of defining/ guessing/ forecasting which fonts from the Windows

Thank you.

Put it in .bash_logout? Or wherever suits.

, in mounting the portable version, I have already established
that the directory /cygdrive/c/tmp/ must exist, so I suppose I could try
ln -s /cygdrive/c/tmp/XWin.log /tmp/XWin.log
before burning to CD. (I've already made 5 coasters. At this rate I'll be
able to floor the bathroom.)
Thanks.

winDeinitMultiWindowWM - Noting shutdown in progress
and the noting shutdown in progress must be what I have described as XWin
dies.) So: is there a way I can try to get this directory (and,
specifically, I suppose, its contents) written to /cygdrive/c/tmp/ rather
than to /tmp/?
Fergus
PS: Entirely unrelated
seems to occur earlier, at the point that XWin atempts to
make the directory /tmp/.X11-unix. Can I trick XWin into creating this
elsewehere (i.e. somewhere writeable?)

indeed appear to do?

A configure / make /make install that has been working successfully oob for
a long time recently failed. the relevant .tgz is unaltered, only Cygwin has
changed. Does the following output from make, throw any light on this? The
configure worked fine. I attach cygcheck.out.

~/tmp/grap-1.30
flex 2.5.31-1 sucks ...
... upgrade to 2.5.4-2.
Well this worked just fine. Thank you very much for this pragmatic help.
Fergus
Attaching cygcheck output is something that Fergus has seemed
reluctant to do. The cygwin problems page also has a lot of tips
for reporting problems, one of which is to not send email with
vague subjects.
Sorry -- I was at fault on both counts. Thank you Chris, Harold and Jan for
picking

you will be able to compile
pdftops, pdftotext, pdfinfo, pdffonts, and pdfimages
but not xpdf
and indeed at the end of make install there they all are, but not xpdf. Has
anybody succeeded in a successful install and is it easy to explain how?
Thank you.

and when not, expecting a small difference in env
vars (or something). But all that has changed are PIDs. I want to be able to
query the O/S to ask whether X is running or not. Is there a way of doing
this, please? Apart from say ps -a | grep XWin. Thank you!
Fergus
P.S. There are so many ways
good, since I don't always start
XWin ... we'll see.
Thanks again.
Fergus
. Also (3) when XWin is not
started, I cannot even run rxvt (as in rxvt -e bash).
Hmmm. No point in worrying about probs 2 and 3 when I know a solution to
prob 1 is in the pipeline. Thank you. I will let you know how things go.

similar recent anomalies, and are
they indicative of something obvious?

Any connection?

-3.5.8 into Cygwin (or later? 3.5.8 is the
most modern I could find).
Thank you very much. Sorry for the very simple-minded nature of these
questions.

In the directory release/XFree86/x2x/, the file x2x-1.27-1-src.tar.bz2 has
the correct md5sum (being 87075ba00b0cd15f35975c956f14591a); but running
bzip2 -tv gives a file ends unexpectedly error message, and attempting to
run bzip2 -dv fails.
