1. Why do you bother me to read this document?

University of Maryland has 6 Open Workstation Laboratories and _156_ Macintoshes on campus. You can use eXodus, a X Server for Macintosh, to login some WAM machines, and launch Hanterm, Netscape etc. However, eXodus on fileservers has no Hangul fonts at all. That's why you need this page. After finishing this page, you don't have to leave Mac for checking Hangul emails.

2. How can I avoid reading this whole document?

Here is a recipe.

Need detailed real command? Next section.

3. X Font Server? What's that?

It supplies Hangul fonts to eXodus. X Font Server will start by the following Example where Host Name is rac7.wam.umd.edu, and Port Number is 7000 as default.

rac7:~: xfs -config /users/cyang/pub/xfs.config &

Possible error message like this means your girl-friend's running X Font Server for you.Go eXodus! If different message, check your typing mistake.

rac7:~: /usr/local/bin/xfs error: Fatal font server error:
/usr/local/bin/xfs error: Cannot establish any listening sockets

4. Which Display Management Host can I use?

Your favorite unix machine will do, e.g. "jinju.umd.edu". Or,

if you are in this lab     choose one of these boxes
----------------------     -----------------------------
Engineering Library        sun??epsl.wam.umd.edu,??=01~10.
Parking Garage 2           sun??pg2.wam.umd.edu, ??=01~20.
Worchester Lab             sun??wor.wam.umd.edu, ??=01~11.
others                     one of aboves

5. Memory Warnings bother me.

Quit the eXodus. Copy eXodus file from Fileserver to local hard disk, "Return to Menu".
Location is FileServer:Net Services Folder:eXodus 6.0.3:eXodus. Select copied eXodus, Get Info from File Menu, and change Preferred size from 6144 to whatever your want. Make sure there are sufficient rams from About This Macintosh... Start again by double clicking _the_ eXodus icon. Listen to complaint, and delete :Font:, then and Add X Font Server... Much faster and more memories. Good for you. :-)
