Additional installation instructions for Sun users:

Two Sun executables are available, one for Solaris 2.0 (SunOS 5.3) and beyond,
and one for earlier BSD based SunOS systems.  These are called nedit_solaris,
and nedit_sunos respectively.


Solaris (SunOS 5.3 and beyond) Systems

The nedit_solaris executable may require the environment variable OPENWINHOME
to be set to the directory where Open Windows is installed.  If this is not set
properly, NEdit will spew screenfulls of messages about translation table
syntax errors.

Solaris 2.5 -- Solaris 2.5 systems were shipped with a bad shared Motif
library, in which the file selection dialog (Open, Save, Save As, Include,
etc.) shows long path names in the file list, but no horizontal scroll bar,
and no way to read the actual file names.  Depending on your system, the
patch is one of ID# 103461-07, # 102226-19, or # 103186-21.  It affects all
Motif based programs which use the library.  If you can't patch your system,
you might want to just try the nedit_sunos executable (from ftp.fnal.gov
/pub/nedit), which is statically linked with a good Motif.  You can also set
the X resource: nedit.stdOpenDialog to True, which at least gives you a text
field where you can enter file names by hand.

Solaris 2.6 -- If you're experiencing performance problems (windows come up
slowly), the patch for Sun's shared Motif library is ID# 105284-04.  Installing
the patch alone will improve nedit's performance dramatically.  The patch also
enables a resource, *XmMenuReduceGrabs. Setting this to True will eliminate the
delay completely.

Solaris 2.5 and 2.6 -- Wildcard processing in the Open Selected command is
disabled in the pre-built nedit_solaris executable, for backward compatibility
with Solaris 2.4 systems, which do not have the necessary glob subroutine to do
the processing or a properly function version internal Motif replacement used
on other platforms.  If wildcard support in Open Selected is important to you,
you can re-enable it on Solaris 2.5 and beyond systems, by fetching the sources
and re-building without -DDONT_HAVE_GLOB in CFLAGS.


SunOS 4.x Systems

SunOS users who are not already using other Motif software may need to do some
additional installation before NEdit will run properly.

The nedit_sunos executable requires that an nls directory be set up in
/usr/lib/X11.  If the directory does not exist, NEdit will crash and/or print a
warning about not being able to find the X NLS directory when you try to copy
or paste text in dialog text fields.  A tar file of this directory is available
in /pub/nedit on ftp.fnal.gov.  Alternatively, the directory can be installed
anywhere, and the environment variable XNLSPATH set to point to it.

On some SunOS systems, NEdit will also complain about translation table syntax
errors.  This happens when Motif can't access the keysym database, usually
located in the file /usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB.  If this file exists on your
system, but NEdit fails to locate it properly, you can set the environment
variable XKEYSYMDB to point to the file.  If you can't find the file, or if
some of the errors persist despite setting XKEYSYMDB, the remainder of this
file contains a copy of XKeysymDB which you can use to update or replace your
/usr/lib/X11/XKeysymDB file.  If you don't want to change your existing
XKeysymDB file, make a local copy and set XKEYSYMDB to point to it.

If you find that some of the labeled keys on your keyboard are not properly
bound to the corresponding action in NEdit, try the following:

  1) Get a copy of motifbind.sun (for Sun standard keyboards), or
     motifbind.sun_at (for Sun PC style keyboards) from the NEdit contrib
     directory on ftp.fnal.gov:/pub/nedit/v4_0_1/contrib.
  2) Copy it to a file called .motifbind in your home directory.
  3) Shutdown and restart your X server.

If this still doesn't fix the problem, send mail to nedit_support@fnal.gov.
