inferno programmer's notebook

NAME lab 55 - cut & paste NOTES this work includes some enhancements for running inferno hosted on windows. these are small details, but do seem to make a difference. first is cut & paste between host and inferno. I copied the code from drawterm to do this. the file /dev/snarf contains the windows clipboard. typically one would say bind /dev/snarf /chan/snarf and everything works just great. second is window resizing. in this case the host window is resized but the inferno windows all stay the same. but this still improves it. it's nice to be able to resize the window. however, for this to work the toolbar needs to be moved to the top instead of the bottom of the screen. finally, i added /dev/fullscreen . writing anything to the file cases inferno to toggle fullscreen mode. to use the changes copy devarch.c and win.c to /emu/Nt , and devcons.c to /emu/port .

NAME lab 45 - full screen NOTES I've been wanting to use inferno as a full-screen application on Nt. I don't know too much about the windows API but I took a peek at how Squeak does it. And that was enough to get it to work. This is a first pass at doing it. It should probably be done with parameters to emu. Ideally the inferno host window would be resizable with some way of switching to full screen and window while emu is running. Just copy the win.c file to your /emu/Nt directory and build. The -g option to emu needs to be the current settings for your monitor. The other files in this lab are the wmclient, tkclien,t and titlebar to make wm windows look more rio-like. I had done this in an earlier lab, but the wmclient code didn't work properly. The wmclient works properly now. But there's no backdrop menu for window control, which makes it a little difficult to hide and exit the windows. FILES caerwyn.com/lab/45
