I just posted a new startup-scripts.tgz to the mirror network. It should
start appearing on mirrors within 24 hours, but I have also posted it to my
website for those that do not want to wait:
http://www.msu.edu/~huntharo/xwin/startup-scripts.tgz (2 KB)
Changes
1) Added comments to explain what is going on.
2) Added a simple method of determining whether or not to use the
/B switch. The new method assumes that the /B switch cannot
be used by default, and only allows its use if the %OS%
environment variable is set to "Windows_NT". In all other
cases the batch file will not use the /B switch. Thus,
there may be a few users on Windows NT/2000 that the batch file
misdetects as not supporting /B, but at least there won't
be any Windows 95/98/Me users that are incorrectly
detected as Windows NT/2000.
3) Removed start commands for optional components (mxterm, vtwm, etc.)
4) Added /usr/X11R6/bin to $PATH in startxwin.sh
5) Copied the line to set the background color from startxwin.sh
to startxwin.bat; added the comment, "Set a background color to
comply with FCC regulations :)", just for Brian Genisio.
6) Check that /tmp/.X11-unix/X0 exists before trying to change
its attributes or delete it. (Prevents two warning messages)
7) Remove the /tmp/.X11-unix directory in the startxwin.sh script
to prevent the permission warning.
Hopefully this will cut down on the number of questions regarding the
startup scripts.
