xterm and cp850?

2002-06-03 Thread Cajus Pollmeier
Hi all! I've got a problem with an old cobol application running in a xterm. It uses (a DOS typical) CP850 for output, so characters like german "umlauts" are not displayed correctly. Is there a way to map the xterm to cp850? I read about converting fonts to cp850, but there were no real examples

Hi! Not a big problem, but I'd like to know if there is a better solution for that: I had a self compiled binary "/usr/local/bin/blah". Another version of this binary is in "/usr/bin/blah". The bash path is set to take the one from /usr/local first, executing it works fine. After deleting /usr

Hi! Is it possible to disable the mouse cursor completely, while a touch screen as pointing device is enabled? xsetroot -cursor file file_mask (1x1 bitmap with no bit set) does not work, since some applications like i.e. "xterm" activate their own cursor. Thanks, -Cajus
