Top Forums UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users Updating a csv file held on a unix box with excel running on windows Post 41320 by mrhyde on Thursday 2nd of October 2003 11:44:00 AM

RHL 9 comes with Openoffice as part of the OS bundle, if the system is a standard install you could use a tool called "redhat-config-packages", you can check if the OO package is installed. I would use the Calc program to edit the file, I have found that editing some unix files with microsoft applications is useless eg I had to reconfigure a system recently, an inexperienced administrator prepared a service initialization script on a MS Windows machine, the file format was not recognised by svinit and skipped during the boot process.

DMXChangeDesktopAttributes(3X)											    DMXChangeDesktopAttributes(3X)

NAME
DMXChangeDesktopAttributes - change global bounding box SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/extensions/dmxext.h> int DMXChangeDesktopAttributes(Display *dpy, unsigned int mask, DMXDesktopAttributes *attr); DESCRIPTION
DMXChangeDesktopAttributes() resizes the bounding box of the whole screen when using the Xinerama extension. Otherwise, it has no effect on the screen layout. An attribute mask is placed in mask and the attributes to change are placed in attr. The values that are used to compute mask are as follows: DMXDesktopWidth DMXDesktopHeight DMXDesktopShiftX DMXDesktopShiftY The DMXDesktopAttributes structure is: typedef struct { unsigned int width; unsigned int height; int shiftX; int shiftY; } DMXDesktopAttributes; width and height specify the new width and height for the bounding box. shiftX and shiftY specify where the Xinerama origin will be placed with respect to the origin of the new bounding box. This allows the left and upper edges of the bounding box to be changed without changing the visual position of the windows on the desktop. If width or height is not specified, the current values will be used. If shiftX or shiftY is not specified, 0 will be used. All coordinants are in the global DMX coordinant system. If Xinerama is not active, an error will be generated. RETURN VALUE
DMXChangeDesktopAttributes() will return 0 on success, DmxBadXinerama if Xinerama is not active, DmxBadValue if the size of the bounding box is too large, and DmxBadReply if there was a protocol error. DMXChangeDesktopAttributes() can generate BadLength (if the request is malformed, which should never happen when using this library inter- face), and BadValue (if any values are out of range).
