Various fixes to frame geometry to make it a bit easier to understand
and fix some bugs.
1. IMPORTANT: Some renamings. Will need to be applied carefully to
the carbon repository, in the following order:
-- pixel_to_char_size -> pixel_to_frame_unit_size
-- char_to_pixel_size -> frame_unit_to_pixel_size
-- pixel_to_real_char_size -> pixel_to_char_size
-- char_to_real_pixel_size -> char_to_pixel_size
-- Reverse second and third arguments of change_frame_size() and
change_frame_size_1() to try to make functions consistent in
putting width before height.
-- Eliminate old round_size_to_char, because it didn't really
do anything differently from round_size_to_real_char()
-- round_size_to_real_char -> round_size_to_char; any places that
called the old round_size_to_char should just call the new one.
2. IMPORTANT FOR CARBON: The set_frame_size() method is now passed
sizes in "frame units", like all other frame-sizing functions,
rather than some hacked-up combination of char-cell units and
total pixel size. This only affects window systems that use
"pixelated geometry", and I'm not sure if Carbon is one of them.
MS Windows is pixelated, X and GTK are not. For pixelated-geometry
systems, the size in set_frame_size() is in displayable pixels
rather than total pixels and needs to be converted appropriately;
take a look at the changes made to mswindows_set_frame_size()
method if necessary.
3. Add a big long comment in frame.c describing how frame geometry
works.
4. Remove MS Windows-specific character height and width fields,
duplicative and unused.
5. frame-displayable-pixel-* and set-frame-displayable-pixel-*
didn't use to work on MS Windows, but they do now.
6. In general, clean up the handling of "pixelated geometry" so
that fewer functions have to worry about this. This is really
an abomination that should be removed entirely but that will
have to happen later. Fix some buggy code in
frame_conversion_internal() that happened to "work" because it
was countered by oppositely buggy code in change_frame_size().
7. Clean up some frame-size code in toolbar.c and use functions
already provided in frame.c instead of rolling its own.
8. Fix check_frame_size() in window.c, which formerly didn't take
pixelated geometry into account.

**** WARNING **** This file was never meant to be proper documentation, and now is bitrotted. See the file gnuserv.1 and/or the sources for more information. **** NOTE: This version of gnuserv has some enhancements over the original version distributed by Andy Norman. See the end of this file for more details. **** To install, copy gnuserv.el into a directory on your GNU Emacs load-path. Edit Makefile and change INCLUDES to point to the src directory underneath your emacs source tree (or make yourself a config.h file in this directory by hand, starting with config.h.proto as a first cut) and type: make This should compile the server and the two clients. Now put gnuserv, gnuclient and gnudoit in a directory that users have in their executable search paths. File : Description ---------------------------------------------------------------- Makefile : Makefile to build gnuserv LICENSE : GNU General License README : this file gnuclient.c : editor client C code gnudoit.c : eval client C code gnuserv.1 : gnuserv man page gnuserv.c : server C code gnuserv.el : server LISP code for GNU Emacs V18,V19, XEmacs/Lucid Emacs and Epoch V4 gnuserv.h : server/client C header file gnuslib.c : server/client C common code src.x11fns.diff : diffs to src/x11fns to raise window (for emacs18) config.h.proto : Use this file as the starting point for constructing a config.h if you don't have access to the one that was used when compiling your emacs. If you find *any* problems at all with gnuserv, or you can think of better ways of doing things (especially remote file access), please e-mail me at one of the addresses below. ange@hplb.hpl.hp.com ange@hpl.hp.co.uk ...!hplabs!hplb!ange ...!ukc!hplb!ange This version of gnuserv has been enhanced by a number of people, including Bob Weiner <weiner@mot.com>, Darrell Kindred <dkindred@cmu.edu>, Arup Mukherjee <arup@cmu.edu>, and Ben Wing <ben@xemacs.org>. The modifications are basically as follows: Bob Weiner: Integrated support for several versions of emacs. New requests from gnuclient cause the creation of new frames. Removed the restriction on the length of the string passed to gnudoit. Later added a server-done-function variable to control what happens to a buffer after the user is done with it. Mods to each of the .c files as well as gnuserv.el. Darrell Kindred: Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from a gnudoit request, for the purposes of unix/internet sockets. Allow the gnudoit request to be read from stdin if it's not specified on the command line. Internet sockets are not opened unless the GNU_SECURE variable is specified. Unix sockets are created in a protected ancestral directory, since many Unix variants don't enforce socket permissions properly. An internet socket accepting local connections is not opened by default because this would make it possibly to override all security on the unix socket. See the man page for details. Unless told to do otherwise by a command-line argument, gnuclient and gnudoit now try to open a unix socket by default if support for them was compiled in. Mods to each of the .c files and to gnuserv.el. Arup Mukherjee: Removed the restriction on the length of the string returned from a gnudoit request, for the purposes of sysv ipc. Added support for the "gnuserv-frame" variable allowing you to specify control whether or not new screens are created in response to each gnuclient request. Made a number of other bugfixes and changes to the lisp part of the code, allowing gnuserv to work properly with newer emacs versions. All the changes are listed in the changelog at the beginning of gnuserv.el. Also fixed up the man page to reflect the new gnuserv features. On HPs, stopped the "-r" parameter (in gnuclient) from defaulting to /net/<remotehost>. Not all installations want this, and it's much harder to debug when things stop working. Changed the man page to reflect this. Mods to each of the .c files, gnuserv.el and gnuserv.1 More recently - added Xauth(1X11)-style authentication to gnuserv (as of version 2.1). Although the code is completely new, credit is due to Richard Caley <rjc@cogsci.edinburgh.ac.uk> ... he wrote a prototype implementation from which I borrowed the basic mechanism for hooking Xauth into gnuserv. Ben Wing: Added gnuattach.
