Does anyone have Notes 0.9? - shrek - 09-19-2020

It's a Motif sticky notes program for IRIX and Linux that looks nice. If anyone has the file or a close alternative please let me know. 

It appears to have been made by the user jimmer. I can't find the file anywhere but I found it referenced on the archive here:

Unfortunately no. But I have found a tardist of the Jimmer's Notes-1.0 on my HDD. They are here. It seems that the tardist icludes also the source code.

Thanks a million! That's even better. I didn't know there was a newer version.

Good lord, actual people looking into a bit of iffy code I wrote a million years ago... Amazing

I may have the tardist and what have you lying about someplace. Maybe not. I seem to remember that I included the code in the tardists - like Jirka said. I also seem remember there were some minor 'fit and finish' bugs left.

I'd have a look at it myself, but I don't have access to an IRIX box anymore. So I can't really be of much help.

Some various notes files I had lying around...

require viewkit unfortunately so no using on other OSes.

In my opinion there's nothing unfortunate about requiring ViewKit, definitely not on an IRIX box

And there's always ViewKlass... I'll see if I can coax my sources to build with that on something non-IRIX. Me goes off to setup Xorg/Motif/ViewKlass in a virtualbox.

My experience of ViewKlass has been, mixed at best. It doesn't seem to work properly and won't build on BSD out of the box.

I just was slightly lamenting that I can't use it right now due to not having an SGI physically in my possession (I have a huge collection, but all in a place I can't go right now)

We're working on Motif DE stuff here: https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-3150-page-9.html

Hey, if you're up to porting I'm making an open source Motif desktop for Linux and BSD. There's a thread up in the "Other Unix" section about it. A sticky note program is going to be a core feature but the one I have already is very basic - just a resizable text box widget with copy/paste.

If you need an IRIX environment for testing you can emulate an Indy with 6.5.22 in MAME. It's very slow (20% of a 100MHz R4000) but it works. Here's a guide

what version of IRIX are y'all running this on? I have 6.5.22, and when I run notes it creates a ~/.notes dir, but nothing else happens (I installed the 1.0 tardist, r12k o2)
