I finally have the Linux-ETH-Oberon [LEO] vncClient running
linux applications on the same box.
The main intention, of being able to paste textStrings between
the linux application and a LEO menu is viable - with practice.
======= log of tests:--
Desktops.OpenDoc "127.0.0.1:5900" (VNCViewerDocs.NewDoc) ~
== same old 'self view'
Desktops.OpenDoc "127.0.0.1:5901" (VNCViewerDocs.NewDoc) ~
== New 'view' = unfamiliar linux-like-panel
System.Grow it & keyin 'pwd <cr>'
== see : /root [which I can copyNpaste to LEO] !!
Now test copyNpaste 'from' LEO.
=== copyNpaste from VNCclientFrame to LEO other frames
is erratic & confusing - initially !!
..etc .... too much ..!!
--------
NB. it's strange, initially to be seeing a linux frame [in the UserTrack]
and have to use NO key reflexes to paste.
--------
!! ps2ascii <*.pdf> scrolls in LEO's vncClientFrame.
gs <*.pdf> shows the rendered *.pdf with colour images;
which can perhaps be cut/extracted with some NO tool:
Rembrandt ...etc ?
Previously I had to use linux > snapshot/frameGrabber
& import the *png to LEO. Altho' LEO has snapshot, it
crashes my present setup.
emacs runs in LEO's vncClientFrame !!
As previously stated, the intention is to be able to
leverage ETH-Oberon's nice HCI for dumb CLI linux
applications. In particular, to input to linux from
an own designed/evolved menu & capture [suitably
coloured] the output for quik-learning purposes.
