For what it is worth, the Yggdrasil distribution makes good use of wish/Tcl/Tk in the control panel. I am starting to adopt some of this to make an X-based program that allows you to configure the mode pages for scsi devices. Getting the first one (cache control) done was the hardest, and I hope that the others will be easier. Having the Yggdrasil scripts around helped a lot as I could study and hack these as examples. I tried looking at the Tcl/Tk book a bit, but it lacks a good index. As time goes on, I try and dogear the pages with interesting things on them, but some kind of quick reference guide would come in quite handy. -Eric -- "The woods are lovely, dark and deep.

Holger, glad you asked. I was afraid to ask, because I was afraid it could be a too FAQ-like question, although I've never found some hint in this direction. So please if you get answers by email, either post it here or send me a copy. I've got the same problem. > Guten Tag! > Is there any font for X which resembles the font used in text > mode in MS-DOS? > The idea behind this on first glance somewhat barbarian question > is the > following: I'm using Seyon, a terminal programm for Linux, which > uses xterm > as terminal emulation.
