This is a revision of the Developer’s Toolkit for HP-UX 11i.
Audio Server
With 11i, the audio server and the audio library use DCE to
communicate with each other. This change is transparent to audio clients
due to the use of shared libraries. Audio clients built on 10.* systems
using the audio shared library will work on 11i systems, though they will
now be using DCE instead of NCS. The 11i audio server will be able to
communicate with DCE and NCS audio clients on other systems.
However, DCE clients on 11i will not be able to connect to NCS audio
servers on 10.* systems.
xterm Superseded by dtterm
This release of HP-UX includes both the X11 Release 5 and Release 6
versions of xterm, delivered in the following directories as unsupported
software:
•R5: /usr/bin/X11/xterm
•R6: /usr/contrib/bin/X11/xterm
The functionality of xterm is superceded by the industry-standard
dtterm terminal emulator, making xterm redundant. The Release 5
version of xterm will not be shipped with the next release of HP-UX; it is
being provided with this release to facilitate the transition of users from
xterm to dtterm.
VueHelp Libraries Removed
The HP VUE Help Developer's Kit was removed from the HP-UX 10.30
Developer's Toolkit. The VueHelp library (libXvh) is supported only for
use with the X11 Release 5 development environment.
Application developers using VueHelp will need to port their applications
to utilize the industry-standard CDE Help API, libDtHelp, which is
supported for use with both Release 5 and Release 6 of the X11
development environment.
