Program: inidisplay Purpose: Initializes the display for GIPSY applications. Category: DISPLAY, UTILITY Files: inidisplay.c Author: K.G. Begeman Description: The information about displays is obtained from the file displays which is located in the gip_sys directory and from the X11 environment variable DISPLAY. If the X11 server is a workstation and not the local machine, inidisplay will try to logon to that machine and start the display server on the workstation. The .rhosts file in your home directory must have a line stating the name of the remote host and your user name. It is also advisable to add the current host to the .rhosts file. Also the GIPSY environment must be setup via your .cshrc on the remote machine. On X terminals the display server will always run on the local machine. Keywords: ** DISPLAY= Name of display device [DEFAULT_DISPLAY]. The display name must be an environment variable (in uppercase) which contains the name of a file. At GIPSY startup this symbol will be defined automatically. Updates: Nov 27, 1990: KGB, Document created. Apr 10, 1991: KGB, Complete revision.
