Hi, I want to add scrollbars to epoch. I have got hold of a package called "widgets" which includes a program called "biscuit" and implements a client broadcast protocol and widget server yada yada... I got it in my head someplace that this package provides an approach that can be used to scrollbars or other widgets to an epoch window, so I got it, and built it, so far so good. Now what? How does one drive "buiscuit"? Does anybody out there know what I am talking about? Anybody got any better suggestions? This seems like a whole lot more than what I simply want, (but then this is emacs) All answers welcome.... Also, I just started using Epoch on a Sun workstation, running Motif or Openlook, depending on my mood... I tried the IMOUSE package, and it seemed not to exactly work quite right. (I was following through the IMOUSE-TUTORIAL file) Even if it had "worked" right, it seemed to me wrong-headed, so I wrote my own mouse package which seems, at least to me to be headed more in the right direction. I have also been able to bind the "special" keys on the Sun keyboard such as Find, Cut, Copy, Paste, Again, and Undo to appropriate functions and the result is reall quite good. So, my question is, is everybody out there happy with IMOUSE, or is there interest in somebody else's approach? If there is substantial interest I'll post it. Here's the thing, it would be better if I had scrollbars to use for scrolling, instead of having to waste mouse bindings on it. So, that was the reason for the original question. Thanks for reading this far, rogerr@netcom.com
