Dave,
Do you have a list of the changes to the Makefile, or possibly the
Makefile itself that you could send to me? I would very much appreciate
it. I would be nice if someone could find a computer science student to
rewrite treetool in Motif (although I still like OpenWindows). It is, in
my opinion, the best program for manipulating phylogenetic trees, although
it does have a few quirks that I'd like to see fixed. At least it doesn't
crash the Xwindows display like it would frequently do under Solaris 1.
About GDE, have you fixed it so that the meta-keys work? That's the only
feature that I miss in the version that I use (ported to Solaris 2.x by RZ
and NJP). Meta-g and meta-n work but that is it. Also under Solaris 2.x,
the edit window "grabs" the focus in a very inconvenient fashion. If a
dialog window opens over the sequence part of the edit window, I can't
point to it without having the edit window jump to the top. Does your
build have that same problem?
Any help that you can give would be appreciated.
