Newsgroups: comp.sys.next.announce From: joe@rilgp.tamri.com (Joe Carlson) Subject: SUBMISSION: DrawingServant and MetafontOnlinePreviewer Organization: Next Announcements Approved: sanguish@digifix.com DrawingServant -------------- DrawingServant (now in the auspicious release 0.1) is loaded on sonata. DrawingServant is a utility program for putting a NeXT graphics head on an existing terminal based application. This utility program provides a means of writing postscript code to the window server without going through the appkit. Existing programs (typically with their own event loop) can be ported to the Next without large changes in the application, but still be able to take advantage of NeXT interface goodies like printing and saving windows. An example port is included in the code for a Metafont Online Previewer also loaded on sonata. sonata.cc.purdue.edu /pub/next/submissions/DrawingServant.tar.Z MetafontOnlinePreviewer ----------------------- A simple online previewer for display of fonts in Metafont is available for the Next. Included is the file next.c for the next specific code in the MFwindow directory of the web2c distribution, the (trivial) modifications to one file (texmf.c) and some installation notes. The current (or close to current) release of web and web2c are needed as well. The port makes use of the program DrawingServant for communication of a terminal based program with the window server. You must load and install that program. sonata.cc.purdue.edu /pub/next/submissions/MetafontOnlinePreviewer.tar.Z Questions, comments and complaints are welcome. Lack of support is provided by joe@ril3.tamr.com The code has no restrictions for noncommercial use.
