I've run into a problem on using the proposed new XP stations because their graphics have to be on FoxView. We primarily use DM. I've found that converting DM graphics to FoxView isn't "seamless integration". I'm planning to replace two dual head B boxes in January. After learning about the XP solution, I thought we'd give it a try on these workstations. I like the idea of getting away from the nodebus and using off-the-shelf ethernet technology. My understanding is that DM will not run on XP workstations, so I need to convert to FoxView. No problem (I thought), I've already started using FoxView 99.2.1, so we were headed in the right direction. I used the FoxDraw convert utility and ran into problems when some converted graphics caused FoxView to exit and create a core dump in root. TAC said to try the g_edit utilities to clean up the dispIays, there is an issue with objects located out of the graphic boundary area. I used the g_edit utilities for cleaning and updating the displays and still have core dumps. I have submitted two CARS and spent quite a few hours trying to get this convert to work properly on ALL graphics. So now I have to decide whether we can spend the time to create new graphics, or should I just stay with UNIX because of the DM graphic capability. Maybe FoxView 8.0 doesn't have as much trouble with conversion, but I won't know that till I get a copy to try. The graphics I'm having problems with are the important displays used by the operators, so I just can't blow them off. Displays were created by a bonafide engineering firm about 6 years or so ago.
