[comp.unix.questions] sunwindows

To anyone with a bit of sunwindows/suntools programming experience...

I am trying to get some sunwindows stuff going. I have a huge set of
sun3 manuals here which describe (amongst everything else) a line
drawing routine called pw_line which I would like to use.

On a sun3 this is fine, I can find the function in
/usr/lib/libsunwindow.a

However, on our 4.0.3c sparc1, there is no /usr/lib/libsunwindow.a.
There is a /usr/lib/libsunwindow.sa.0.40.5 which is in archive format,
but it doesn't contain pw_line.o


So where do I find pw_line.o  ???

P.S. While you're there (assuming, that is, that someone answers),
     why don't the sparcs have /usr/lib/libsunwindow.a, or
     /usr/lib/libsuntool.a? The application I am trying to use is
     expecting them when it sees -lsuntool (etc). I made a 
     symlink to the .sa.0.40.5 files with a .a name and that seemed
     to work.


Thanks ALOT - this has caused me some problems.
