We have this real strange problem with Epoch 3.2 and Xvision. Xvision is a X server running on a PC under MS Windows 3.0. Epoch is running on HP/Apollo workstations under Domain/OS 10.3, and works just fine using HP's X servers on the work stations. When using the Xvision server on the PC, the keyboard focus continually shifts between the minibuffer and the first Epoch window. If the minibuffer is iconized, the problem goes away, but it is kinda hard to run Epoch with the minibuffer in an icon. If you deiconize the minibuffer, the focus just starts jumping back and forth again. If you are real quick and hit C-g while just the minibuffer is up, with the cursor in the minibuffer, this doesn't happen. But you gotta be real quick. Also, when you do this Epoch doesn't recognize the mouse any more, and won't accept any events from the mouse. The PC is an Epson Equity 386sx Plus with a VGA card. Dos 5.0, and MS Windows 3.0 running in enhanced mode. Xvision 4.0, with PC/TCP 2.05. Anybody else foolish enough to do this? Anybody have any ideas? -- Douglas Keenan Rand Honeywell -- Air Transport Systems Division Phone: +1 602 436 2814 US Snail: P.O.

This summer I worked with Epoch at my summer job. I am very interested in trying to set Epoch up here at school. Can someone tell me how to go about getting the sources for this software? Thanks, Craig Setera setera@cs.umn.edu

Thanks, Craig Setera setera@cs.umn.edu Epoch sources can be ftp'd from cs.uiuc.edu by anon ftp in the directory pub/epoch-files/epoch. You'll need epoch-3.2.tar.Z, and the 2 patch files. apply the patches before making using the patch utility (patch-1 is a straight patch; patch-2 is a tar file, untar and follow the instructions in the README file).
