--------------
1) Graphics window corruption
If you experience corruption of the graphics window when other windows are
moved over top of it, turn on the BackingStore option of the X server.
In the "Screen" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf or /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
file (whichever one exists), you should have something like:
Section "Screen"
.
.
.
Option "BackingStore"
.
.
.
EndSection
Be aware that making this change will cause Debconf to refuse to update your X
settings when you upgrade your X server package. See the blurb at the top of
/etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have xserver-xorg installed) or
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (if you have xserver-xfree86 installed) for more
information.
2) Remote data files
Paw++ can read files remotely from computers running the distributed PAW
(pawserv) server, which is included in the pawserv Debian package. This is
done from within Paw++ using 'rlogin' and 'rshell' commands; see the PAW
User's Guide for details. Please note that these commands transmit passwords
in clear text and should be used only within a secured LAN.
3) Path issues
If you compile a FORTRAN script within Paw++, the path to the file cannot
be excessively long (more than 256 characters).
4) Filename case issues
The default behavior in Debian has been set so that Paw++ is case-sensitive
in its treatment of filenames. If you have any old PAW scripts that do not
treat filenames in a case-sensitive way, you may need to add the line
filecase convert
to the beginning of them.
5) 64-bit issues
This package is now believed to be more or less functional on 64-bit machines.
On these architectures, PAW is linked statically against the CERN libraries, as
they cannot properly handle pointer differences that do not fit in a 32-bit
variable. See the file README.64-bit in the cernlib-base package.
