VUEFP2TO3(1X) UNIX Programmer's Manual VUEFP2TO3(1X)
NAME
vuefp2to3 - Convert HP VUE 2.x vuewmrc files for HP VUE 3.0.
SYNOPSIS
vuefp2to3 [-o output_file] input_file
DESCRIPTION
vuefp2to3 converts vuewm configuration files from the HP VUE
2.x syntax to the HP VUE 3.0 syntax. The input file is
replaced and the old file is saved, but renamed with a v20_
prefix.
vuefp2to3 is typically used to convert a user's personal
configuration file found in $HOME/.vue/vuewmrc. It is also
invoked automatically by vuewm when an HP VUE 2.x vuewmrc
file is detected. In this case, the conversion is done to a
temporary file and the original file is left intact.
vuefp2to3 attempts to map the old bitmap file names into new
image names for HP VUE 3.0. The new names are used in a
resolution and color independent lookup to allow one front
panel description to work on different displays. See the
xpm(4X) manual page.
vuefp2to3 inserts an INCLUDE statement at the beginning of
the converted file to merge in the HP VUE 3.0 sys.vuewmrc
file. This insures that users with a custom HP VUE 2.0
vuewmrc file will see a difference when selecting an HP VUE
Lite session from the login screen. Custom menus and front
panel definitions will override the system definitions
because the custom definitions appear later in the file.
However, custom button- and key-bindings that have the con-
flicting names with system bindings will be merged and may
produce some unexpected behavior. Users that wish to retain
custom HP VUE 2.0 bindings should insure their binding names
are unique and referenced by the appropriate vuewm
resources.
OPTIONS
-o output_file
This option names the output file to write. If
specified, the input file is not renamed.
ENVIRONMENT
vuefp2to3 uses the $DISPLAY and $HOME environment variables.
If vuefp2to3 will try to open the $DISPLAY to fetch some
resources associated with the front panel. If it fails to

open the display, then the quality of the conversion may be
affected. The resources fetched are for the front panel
name, the number of rows in the workspace switch, and the
file monitored by the mail control.
