Type "bllink_task -help" to see more switches that blink_task will accept.

OK, heres where I am on this. By usinng the -f option to blink_task,
I'm
able to partialy get this to work on a display with 24 colors.
blink_task pops up a smaill error window complaining about not being
able
to int colrs. But display manager does come up. Now I have not yet
done
anything to add an colors to the servers color database. Did you
have to
add any Foxboro, or Sun specifc colors to rgb.text?
NO
I also have not yet moved the fints, but Im confortable with that as
I have
doen it in the past.
So I'm not getting any "highlighting" (like the password entry filed
on the
change enviornment scree.
I don't get the highlighting either
Also on some of my displays, the color status are
incorrect. I'm not certain the node I;m testing on has naything that
_should_ be blinking, but I'm certainly not seeing anything blink.
I get all the proper status colors and blinking. Perhaps you have
another problem. Check your /usr/fox/wp/data/sys_pal.xxx files
I don't remember the extensions but there should be 4 of them.
2 are used (1 for the blink task and 1 for the DM colors)
2 are backups (1 for the new-std DM colors and 1 for the old-std DM
colors)
Note/ They all look to be the same size but they have different
check-sums.
If you are running Display Manager and the displays are over apx.
5yrs old then you probably need to be using the "old-std DM color scheme"
you will need to copy the correct file over.
Good LUCK
Peter
Close, but still not close enough to deploy as a production
operators
screen (which is the ultimate goal of what I'm doing).
Sugestiosn anyone?
