Alas, not very popular. Perhaps not enough lipstick on the pig to please MVS power users. Or resentment of X11.
At the time, our publishing product was Script/VS, which could embed PostScript resourdes (ASCII only!). I struggled to get xpserv working for screenshots: I failed; perhaps I was never able to build it. <https://www.ibiblio.org/pub/X11/contrib/extensions/xpserv-README> The challenge for Select/Copy is Makefile because of the TABs. Desktop systems too often think they know better and substitute NBSP. And HTML pages which ought to embed code samples simply with <PRE> ... </PRE> are instead rife with <DIV>, <SPAN>, <TD>, ..., which don't Copy cleanly. I have written a small amount of HTML documentation with a text editor. I validated it by Copy from browser window and Paste to command line. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
