| Q: |
I want to run Meeting Maker for UNIX on my RS6000 (IBM). Is there anyway I can do this? |
| A: |
Meeting Maker supports Solaris or HP-UX. However, if you have a SPARC server or an HP server available at your site, install Meeting Maker on that machine and display its output on your RS6000 workstation. For example, on RS6000: xhost +RemoteServer
lets X-clients execute from node `RemoteServer' on the RS6000 workstation. On RemoteServer: mmxp -display RS6000:0
MMXP for UNIX now displays on the RS6000 workstation. |
| Q: |
I set my variables for MMHOME and XPPATH but I still can't run Meeting Maker. Why? |
| A: |
Meeting Maker is looking for the variable MMHOME. If you set MMHOME as shell variable and did not export it, Meeting Maker can't find it. Set the both MMHOME and XPPATH as follows: (1) C Shell: setenv (2) Bourne: set followed by export (3) Korn: MMHOME= followed by export (4) XPPATH= followed by export |
| Q: |
Two users are running Meeting Maker on different Sun workstations. One workstation's display colors are blue and white, the other's are blue and gray. The fonts are also different. Why? |
| A: |
Meeting Maker relies on and Xwindows resource file called Mmxp. During installation, this file is put in the directory where the window manager can find it. If mm was installed under OpenLook, the resource file is put in: /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults
If Meeting Maker was installed under Motif, the resource file is put in: /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
If you're running a different window manager from your coworker, this could cause display differences. To change your display, Copy the Mmxp resource file to the app-defaults directory for your window manager and restart mm. |
| Q |
What if I don't like the default colors and fonts? |
| A |
On an HP, use the window manager to change display options. On a Sun, the default colors and fonts are specified in an Xwindows resource file called Mmxp. This file is located in either /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults or /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults depending on the window manager. Change colors and font by editing Mmxp. |
| Q |
So what colors and fonts can I use? |
| A |
There are two UNIX commands used to see available colors and fonts on your workstation. To display available fonts, type: xlsfonts at the shell prompt.
To display available colors, type: showrgb at the shell prompt.
