Exceed

Enhanced Fonts

Exceed X Server has expanded support for True Type Fonts on the Solaris platform for Chinese, Japanese and Korean locales.

Font Server

Exceed can perform the following tasks to reduce network traffic and improve reliability of your system:

• create and maintain a cache for fonts from the Font Server on your local drive
• search local fonts first, even if the Font Server is set to have higher priority
• automatically reconnect to the Font Server at pre-determined intervals

Xstart Features

Details on how to use the following Xstart features are available in "Connecting to Hosts and Running X Clients" in Exceed User's Guide.

The Telnet start method in Xstart now includes Kerberos V5 authentication and encryption for added security.

This new feature lets you access NIS and NIS+ servers, view table information, query table entries, and output content to a remote file from within Xstart.

This feature makes Xstart connections more efficient. When you create a connection using Xstart, the connection can be directed to a host with the lightest system load.

This feature lets you cache your password, so that during an Xstart session, you need login just once. The system caches the password until you either exit Exceed or manually empty the cache.

Mouse Input

This feature lets you select an option for mouse wheel action and give your two-button mouse three-button capabilities for X client windows. This feature also lets you translate mouse wheel actions for specific X applications. Refer to "Customizing Exceed Settings" in Exceed User's Guide for more details.

Power Management

The Power Management feature lets you prevent your PC from entering standby or sleep mode due to being inactive. Refer to the Power Management section in the Exceed online Help for more details.

Enhanced Support for Windows and Application Keys

In the Keyboard Input dialog box, you can indicate how the Windows keys on your keyboard are interpreted by Exceed. Both Windows keys can have the same function, or each can have a different function. To map a function to a Windows key, you must add it manually. Refer to the Keyboard Input section in the Exceed online Help for more details.

Enhanced X Input Extensions

Exceed now has support for the following devices:

• Spaceball 2003/3003
• Tablet
• Dials and LPFK

XDMCP Port Selections

You can specify the local and remote ports that XDMCP uses to receive information and conduct server searches. The Local port is the port your system reads when you receive notifications. The Remote port is the out port that your system uses to find information on the server. This port is used mostly in query mode. The port numbers you enter in these fields are the ports which can traverse a firewall. The port number is set by the system administrator. Refer to the Communication section in the Exceed online Help in Xconfig for more details.

Enhanced Multiple Monitor Support

Exceed supports up to 16 monitors at one time, up from nine monitors in the previous release.

New Support for Pseudo Color Emulation

Exceed now supports Depth 12 (4096 colors), so you can run X applications that require 12 bit color.

Backdrop in Multiple Window Mode

You can now show or hide the backdrop, such as the CDE wallpaper, through the Exceed menu or toolbar.

Hide Exceed Icon

You can move or hide the Exceed icon in the shell icon tray. This saves space in the taskbar.

Enhanced Macro Support

Macros now support launching Exceed toolbar commands in addition to keyboard actions. Refer to Exceed online Help for further details on macro mapping.

Enhanced Multiple Displays

Exceed supports multiple configuration files, toolbars, Exceed log files for both Xstart and Xsession. You can launch X applications based on the active display parameters.

LPQ and LPR Enhancement

This host look up application now searches DHCP Name Server as well as the Name Server entry in the registry.

HostExplorer

5250 File Transfer Wizard

HostExplorer now provides a wizard that lets you transfer structured data files between a PC and an AS/400 host. If you transfer a file from an AS/400 host to your PC, you can specify standard SQL statements to execute in the file.

FTP for Windows Explorer

FTP for Windows Explorer is a client implementation of the File Transfer Protocol. It lets you transfer both text (ASCII) and image (binary) files between your PC and a remote computer running a server implementation of FTP. You can also use it to perform file and directory management on your PC and a remote computer.

FTP for Windows Explorer supports Solaris, SunOS, AIX, Windows NT/2000, AS/400, VMS, VM/CMS, MVS, and VM/VPS.

Hummingbird Neighborhood

Hummingbird Neighborhood is an extension of Windows Explorer that lets you access and manipulate the profiles and folders associated with Hummingbird applications such as HostExplorer, the 5250 File Transfer Wizard, and FTP for Windows Explorer. Hummingbird Neighborhood is fully embedded within Windows Explorer.

Like Windows Explorer, Hummingbird Neighborhood provides copy-and-paste, drag-and-drop, delete, and launch features.

Macro & Profile Converter

Macro & Profile Converter is a new utility that lets you convert WallData Rumba or Attachmate Extra! macros into Hummingbird Basic macros and Attachmate Extra! profiles into HostExplorer session profiles.

HostExplorer Development Kit

HostExplorer provides a Development Kit for customizing functionality. You can download this kit from the following URL:

http://www.hummingbird.com/products/nc/he/

Expanded Hotspot Functionality

You can now create two types of hotspots in HostExplorer: text hotspots and region hotspots. Text hotspots consist of text strings on the screen; they can now contain intervening blanks, meaning they can consist of more than one word. Text hotspots can occur anywhere on the screen and can contain a preceding and/or trailing blank. Region hotspots are rectangular areas on the screen.

If hotspots overlap, you can define the order in which they display. The hotspots nearest the top of the current hotspot scheme take precedence over those below. You can manipulate the order at any time.

Changed Menu Configuration

In previous releases, the Macro menu contained all macro-related commands. In this release, a new menu has been created: the Tools menu. This menu lets you access the Toolbar dialog box, which provides toolbar customization options. The Tools menu also provides all macro-related commands.

New Toolbar and Workspace Customization Features

You can now use the new Toolbars dialog box (accessible from the Tools menu) to design custom toolbars. This dialog box replaces the Toolbar category of the Terminal folder for session options.

In addition, HostExplorer now provides a Workspace category in the Display folder for session options. This category lets you specify the foreground and background color of the workspace. It also lets you frame the terminal screen or specify a Windows bitmap to act as a border around the terminal screen.

Drag-and-Drop Functionality

HostExplorer provides full drag-and-drop functionality. You can use this feature to organize profiles, add buttons to toolbars, and customize the keyboard with ease.

Changed Open Session Dialog Box

This version of HostExplorer provides an updated look and feel for the Open Session dialog box. The user interface now lets you manage your profiles directly in the dialog box by providing drag-and-drop and context-menu features. You can still create profiles with this dialog box, and you can also create folders for profile storage. The new layout also displays the type of host operating system, host name, port number, short name (if any), and terminal model.

Enhanced Keyboard Mapping

You can quickly create custom keyboards and modify existing keyboards by dragging and dropping the available functions to the graphical keyboard utility.

Changed Access to TN3151

In this version of HostExplorer, you can access the TN3151 connection option in the VT category of the Terminal folder for VT session options. The IBM3151 Keyboard Options category of the Terminal folder for VT session options has been removed.

New Template Dialog Box for 3270 File Transfers

When you transfer a file to or from a 3270 host, you can now specify a template file that formats the transferred file.

HostExplorer Programming

HostExplorer products provide a wide range of application programming interfaces (APIs) that let you redesign and customize the following programs using programming languages such as Visual Basic and Visual C++:

• HostExplorer
• WyseTerm
• FTP

Exceed X Development Kit

New Exceed XDK Application Wizard

This version of Exceed XDK provides an Application Wizard that lets you build Motif and X Window projects; it operates within the user interface of Microsoft Visual C++ Studio (Version 6.0). You can use the wizard to create an empty project that has the proper paths, preprocessor definitions, and link libraries.

For more information, see Chapter 3 in the Exceed X Development Kit User's Guide.

Motif and X Window Version Support

This version of Exceed XDK supports X11R6.4, Motif 1.2.4, Motif 2.0.3, and Motif 2.1.20 CTL.

Improved International Support

This version of the Exceed XDK includes extensions that support user input of the Euro and Latin-9 currency symbols.

Exceed XDK provides support for developing and running X applications using all major European languages, as well as Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Hebrew.

In addition, this version of Exceed XDK supports Motif 2.1.20 with Complex Text Layout (CTL). You can use Motif 2.1.20 CTL to develop context-sensitive local Arabic applications.

Improved gcc Compiler Support

This version of Exceed XDK lets you create DLLs that contain standard widget classes and custom-made widget classes using a gcc compiler. You should use a new function, HCLXmInitDll, to initialize one of these DLLs.

New gcc Motif Static Libraries

Motif Widget Set (libXmSt.a) and Motif Resource Manager (libMrmSt.a) static libraries for Motif 1.2.4, Motif 2.0.3, and Motif 2.1.20 CTL are now available for a gcc compiler under the CYGWIN32 and GNAT environments on Win32 systems.

These libraries can be found in the following locations:

• HOME\xdk\motif12\gcc\lib (for Motif 1.2.4 applications)
• HOME\xdk\gcc\lib (for Motif 2.0.3 applications)
• HOME\xdk\motif21\gcc\lib (for Motif 2.1.20 CTL applications)
  

New Exceed XDK-Specific Runtime Control Variables

This version of Exceed XDK provides the following new runtime control variables:

• MULTITHREADALERT--Specifies an action that the X client can take if it is multithreaded and is experiencing problems (such as freezing until the mouse is moved).
• RUNXSERVERIPADDR--Specifies a local host name to start the X server automatically.
• XSERVERCONNECTIONRETRIES--Specifies the number of attempts made by the local X client to establish a server connection.

For more information, see Chapter 1 in the Exceed X Development Kit User's Guide.

Improved Porting Functionality

This version of Exceed XDK improves porting speed by providing the Exceed XDK Application Wizard and hidden initialization routines.

Previous versions of the Exceed XDK included functions for initializing the Xlib, Xaw, Xm, and Xt libraries (HCLXlibInit, HCLXawInit, HCLXmInit, and HCLXtInit). In this latest version, however, initialization is hidden so that it is transparent for porting, meaning you no longer need to call an initialization function. If for some reason your compiler has difficulty with Xm initialization, you may need to add MOTIFAPP as an additional preprocessor definition; for more information, see the "Troubleshooting" section in Chapter 3 in the Exceed X Development Kit User's Guide.

Improved Functionality for Setting X Client Locale

This version of Exceed XDK provides different ways for setting the proper locale in local X applications. You can now set a locale that is different from the one in use by the operating system.

For more information, see Chapter 3 in the Exceed X Development Kit User's Guide.

Japanese EUC Encoding Support

This version of Exceed XDK provides support for UNIX-native Japanese EUC encoding. For more information, see Chapter 4 in the Exceed X Development Kit User's Guide.

New Function for Initializing DLLs Containing Custom-Made Widget Classes

This version of Exceed XDK supports the HCLXmVaFixWCs function. This function can be used instead of the HCLFixWidgetClass and HCLFixXtPointers functions. If you are developing a local Motif X client, you can use only the HCLXmVaFixWCs function to initialize a custom widget class DLL. For more information, see Chapter 3 in the Exceed X Development Kit User's Guide.

Improved Documentation for Creating and Building Projects

This version of the Exceed X Development Kit User's Guide contains enhanced procedures for creating and building projects. In particular, Chapter 3 of the User's Guide now describes step-by-step procedures for the following:

• Developing local Arabic X clients
• Preparing your code for building with Visual C++
• Creating and building a Visual C++ project using the Exceed XDK Application Wizard
• Creating and building a Visual C++ project manually (without the wizard)
• Building an X client using a Visual C++ makefile
• Building an X client using a CYGWIN or GNAT gcc compiler

Exceed 3D

New Animation Program

BluePony is a new sample animation program that uses HCLGLUT.lib.

3D Overlay Support

In addition to Depth 8, Exceed 3D now provides Depth 1 and 2 support.

Enhanced Exceed 3D Support

Exceed 3D now supports direct rendering for Pseudo Color Emulation.

Enhanced OpenGL Support

Now supports backing store.

OpenGL 1.2 features

The following features are new features in OpenGL 1.2, and are available through Exceed 3D.

• Three-dimensional texturing, which supports hardware accelerated volume rendering.
• BGRA pixel formats and packed pixel formats to directly support more external file and hardware frame buffer types.
• Automatically rescaling vertex normals changed by the modelling matrix. Rescaling can, in some cases, replace a more expensive renormalization operation.
• Application of specular highlights after texturing for more realistic lighting effects.
• Texture coordinate edge clamping to avoid blending border and image texels during texturing.
• Level of detail control for mipmap textures, to allow loading only a subset of levels. This can save texture memory when high-resolution texture images are not required due to textured objects being far from the viewer.
• Vertex array enhancements to specify a subrange of the array and draw geometry from that subrange in one operation. This allows a variety of optimizations such as pre-transforming, caching transformed geometry, etc.

SOCKS Download

To get SOCKS information and to download the latest version, go to the SOCKS shortcut in the Start menu. Navigate to the Hummingbird Connectivity folder, then click the System Administration folder. The SOCKS Information shortcut opens the web browser on your machine and displays the appropriate file.

HostExplorer Tuner

This version of HostExplorer no longer supports HostExplorer Tuner.

American Library Association (ALA) Support

This version of HostExplorer no longer supports ALA. Accordingly, the ALA category in the Terminal folder for session options no longer appears.

This section describes issues that Hummingbird is aware of at the time of release.

Windows Installer Issues

The following are known Windows Installer issues:

• Internal Error 1406 (Windows 95/98 only)--the installation aborts and produces this error. This is a known Microsoft issue with Windows Installer. If you receive this error, try reducing the length of the Destination Folder path. Windows 95/98 has a registry limitation that is exceeded if the path is too long.
• A workstation uninstall may leave native language system (NLS) files on the local drive. You must manually delete the left-over files.
• Jconfig Daemon is not stopped and started during Modify (Program Maintenance) unless the daemon's install state is changed (either set to Install or Uninstall). You must either reboot, or stop and start the service manually, to refresh the daemon status.
• Problems with advertised shortcuts:
  1. (Windows NT 4 only) In some cases, an advertised shortcut that is launched from Windows Explorer causes a general protection failure (GPF, or General Protection Fault) with Explorer and the program is not launched. This is a shell update issue with Microsoft. Instead, use the Windows Start menu to launch the product programs, or install the product without Advertised shortcuts (see the next section "Installing a Product without Advertised Shortcuts").
  2. Advertised shortcuts are different from conventional shortcuts. Advertised shortcuts contain Windows Installer information about the Product and feature. When multiple products install the same shortcut, only the last product is registered with the shortcut. Uninstalling that product removes the shortcut. However, it is easily recreated by selecting the Repair option (in Program Maintenance) for one of the remaining products.
• An error message (Error 2803) indicates "Another instance of Hummingbird Setup Wizard is running". If a product is not currently being installed, you can ignore this error and run:

This message also appears if a non-privileged user tries to uninstall a product installed for All Users of the computer. In this case, the setup parameter does not work since only an Administrator of the computer can uninstall the product.

• Repairing user files--If the user directory is accidently deleted, the user file may not be repaired properly. In this case, if a program does not start, try removing the UserFiles registry key in HKEY_CURRRENT_USER or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE depending on whether or not this product is installed for All Users.
• Windows NT/2000--Installing HostExplorer and NFS Maestro Client requires Administrator privilege. Installing Exceed requires elevated privilege (a user who is a member of the Administrator group).
• Windows 2000--Advertised installation is available only for privileged users installing for "All Users" of the computer. By default, the install state of features is not set to advertise (that is, to install on first use).

Installing a Product without Advertised Shortcuts

For each installation, run Setup using the following syntax:

Setup /v"DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS=1"

For multiple installations or in the case of a multi-user rollout:

1. Run Sconfig.exe.

   If Sconfig is not installed, run the English version directly from the CD or from a network image. To launch Sconfig, browse to the folder:

   Program Files\Hummingbird\Connectivity\7.00\Accessories

2. Select the product .msi from the CD or network image.
3. In the Properties dialog add the property DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS. Set the value of this property to 1.
4. Create the transform file in a location where you have write access.
5. When you install the product, apply the transform you have just saved. This transform forces Windows Installer to create non-Advertised shortcuts.

Related Application Issues

Jconfig Daemon

You may experience problems with Jconfig Daemon if the component is installed via a shared image. When starting certain services, Jconfig Daemon attempts to load .dll files found on the remote computer. To load these files, the daemon must have access to the shared product directories. This access is provided by changing the "log on as" settings for the service so that the service is run under the account for which the shared product was installed.
