5. _K_n_o_w_n__P_r_o_b_l_e_m_s__a_n_d__W_o_r_k__A_r_o_u_n_d_s
+o Drag and drop behavior for _p_m_r_u_n and some IRIX versions
(specifically 6.3 and 6.4).
The _p_c_p__e_o_e images for IRIX 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 are
identical and are built using the libraries, header
files and development environment for IRIX 6.2.
These images work correctly for IRIX 6.3 and 6.4 as a
consequence of the ABI compatibility between IRIX
versions.
However the desktop environment changed dramatically
after IRIX 6.2 and the backwards compatibility support
in the later IRIXes is incomplete in a few minor
aspects. Consequently the following deficiencies in
_p_m_r_u_n(1) have been noted for IRIX 6.3 and 6.4:
- When dragging a host icon from a host drag site
(such as the Host Quickfind utility, available
from the Toolchest) onto the _p_m_r_u_n host drop site,
the dropped icon is "rejected" and no _p_m_r_u_n user
interface update occurs.
- When dragging a host icon from the background of
the desktop onto the _p_m_r_u_n host icon drop site,
the _p_m_r_u_n interface is updated to always display
the local hostname, even when the icon represents
a different host.
