Hi folks,
I am posting this for one of our students who does not have access to
external mail.

We are currently running DECWindows under Ultrix (UWS 4.1).
The XUI widget set .h files exist in the directory
	/usr/include/X11

The Athena widget set .h and .c files (copied from the X11R4 distribution
tape) exist in the directory
	/usr/include/X11/Xaw

The compiled libraries, supplied with UWS, exist in the directory
	/usr/lib	- ie. libXaw.a, libXmu.a, libXui.a  etc. 

When I try to make example programs which include Athena widgets

   1) I get redefinition errors for the widget variables

   2) I get syntax errors for variables such as XtPointer - ie. undefined.

Have we got the Athena .h files in the correct directory ?
Do we need to compile the Athena sources and replace the UWS supplied
libraries ?

Also is it possible to create Athena widgets as children of XUI widgets ?
	- ie. mixing widget sets.

Please e-mail replies to molloyt@ul.ie and I can forward them
