I tried making this post over the weekend, but my mailer decided that it was
a good day to die.  I don't think this made it, but if it did, my apologies
for the repeat:
_____________________________________________________________________________
I've noticed that the Abekas Control Panel software provided in
4Dgifts/iristools bombs under 4.0.X.  It worked great under 3.x, and it
compiles without any (serious) problems under 4.0.X.  However, when you try
to run it, you get an "Illegal instruction" message and then it dumps core.
I assume this is related to the move to X-Windows in 4.0, but before I dig
into it, has anyone out there already made the necessary hacks?  If the
collective answer is "No" and I finally get around to fixing it, would anyone
be interested in the updated version? (Dave? Vernon? Calvin? Sam? Anybody?)
Thanks in advance for any (helpful) info!

John (et al)

Here is a re-post of one I made I made last September...

.........................................................................
Attention SGI Abekas A60 video disk users.

Those who have used the remote A60 controller software found in 
/usr/people/4Dgifts/iristools/abekas/_panel might be interested to 
find I have made extensive modifications to it.  Much time was spent
verifying that the remote graphics control panel (ACP) emulates 
the actual Abekas one as closely as possible:

	- bugs fixed
	- Command-line A60 hostname specification
	- 4-digit frame position display
	- Variable play speed now saved (for subsequent variable play selects)  
	- Recording implemented
	- Current play status (operation and direction, if known) 
	- Play (normal or variable) speed/Recording length
	- More user GUI feedback (color, text...)
	- Userid stamp (displayed on A60 monitor to show current remote userid) 
	...

If you are interested in obtaining the "diffs" contact me via e-mail. 
.........................................................................

I also forwarded the update to the folks at Abekas who said it would
eventually be integrated into future IRIX releases.


	Kyle
