Hi guys. This is really great!

1. I have a question. At what point would you replace the Coherent
binaries with the /u1/gnu binaries?

2. It there an update to dosdir to reflect the correct year?

3. When running X via startx "exit" does not appear
in the menu. Is there another way to exit?

Thanks
Ken

Which window manager? What ever is the default one.

menu configs? Where are they located?

Sending Ctrl/Alt/Del from input in virtualbox does not work. Had to login into COM1
port then kill the processes for X and xinit then kill -1 1 to regain control from console.

I won't do this, the toolchains are different and each depends on quite some stuff.
This is why one can switch with the MWC and GNU shell functions in /etc/profile.

No, still needs to be corrected.

Which window manager? Did you do any modifications to the menu configs?
One can allways kill the X server with ALT+CTL DEL.

TWM, left mouse button has application menu, right mouse button functions like exit.

/usr/X11/lib/twm

Works for me. Login into serial port and kill console processes from there is another option.

Udo most probably meant Alt+Control+Backspace.

Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I added the following line in system.twmrc

Menu "Applications" ("black":"lightseagreen")
{
"APPLICATIONS" ("black":"lightseagreen") f.title
"XTerm" !"xterm -geometry 80x24 -ls -cr red &"
"VT-100" !"xvt -geometry 80x24 &"
"Xman" !"xman &"
"Mosaic" !"mosaic &"
"System" f.menu " System "
"Demos" f.menu " Demos "
"Games" f.menu " Games "
# Added quit 12-2022 KenUnix
"Quit Window Manager" f.quit
}

Now it works fine.

I removed it from:

Menu "Twm Operations"
{
"TWM Operations" ("black":"yellow") f.title
"Beep" ("yellow":"black") f.beep
"Close Window" f.delete
"Destroy Application" f.destroy
"Focus" f.focus
"Force Move" f.forcemove
"Full Zoom" f.fullzoom
"Hide Icon Manager" f.hideiconmgr
"Iconify" f.iconify
"Info...." f.identify
"Lower" f.lower
"Lower Current Window" f.circledown
"Move" f.move
"Raise" f.raise
"Raise Current Window" f.circleup
"Raise or Lower" f.raiselower
"Resize" f.resize
"Refresh Window" f.winrefresh
"Refresh Screen" f.refresh
"Show Icon Manager" f.showiconmgr
"Unfocus" f.unfocus
"Window List" f.menu "TwmWindows"
"Zoom" f.zoom
# 12-2022 KenUnix turned off
# "Quit Window Mgr." ("yellow":"black") f.quit
}

As it didn't work... Never appeared. Last item displayed was Zoom.

I see reference to color. Is it supported on the console?

Thanks
Ken

Works for me. Maybe parts of the menu are cut off on your display.

Yes also the color server is available, but won't work with the VBox graphics, requires
an exact emulation of a supported SVGA card. On PCem it is possible to use the color
server configured for ET4000 and such.
