3.3 Resizing Register Window Panes with
xski
As mentioned above, even a large X Window System screen is too small to display all the registers simultaneously, so you
may have to scroll a pane to see the registers you want, or resize the pane by dragging Pane Resizer, the small resize
square on the right side of the dividing line between each pair of panes, as shown in Figure 3-7.
3.4 The Register Window and
ski
The
ski
simulator, as noted above, uses curses to display multiple windows on non-graphic (text) terminals and terminal
emulators. These windows are fixed in size and are not big enough to display all the data at the same time. On a conven-
tional, twenty four line screen,
ski
uses five lines for the Register Window, as shown in Figure 3-8. Because of this lack of
space, the Register Window shows only one of the five sets of registers at a time: user, integer, floating point, system, or
IA-32, and then only a portion of each set. If your screen is larger than twenty four lines when you start
ski
,
ski
will make
use of the extra space. (You can resize terminal emulators using command-line arguments or by using your window man-
ager’s standard mechanisms for window resizing.)
You use the ur, gr, fr, sr, and iar commands to tell
ski
which set of registers to display. To see the various registers in a
set, you use the rf and rb commands to scroll the Register Window forwards and backwards, respectively. These com-
mands are described in Section 5.1.1, “Summary of Register Window Commands”.
