A couple of weeks ago, someone (sorry, due to lack of disk space, we expire all articles in seven days or less, so I can't recall who) posted an article acknowledging a "consortium internal" fix to TMstate.c in Xt, that dramatically improved the performance of Xt in general and Motif 1.1 in particular. (How's that for a run-on sentance?) 1st question: Would that person, please send me the patch? Much obliged, I'll buy you a beer/wine/whatever when you're in the area. Take you on a personal guided tour of the Lab even. Most, if not all, projects here at the lab run under the intense scrutiny of configuration management, probably not unlike most other places. Trying to get CM to apply the public patches is hard enough; trying to get them to apply non-public patches is even harder. If this fix does indeed exist it would greatly simplify a lot of things. CM for one, and it would eliminate the need to write a replacement for the Motif Scrolled List Widget, etc. for another. 2nd question: MIT, please release this as a public fix? If R5 is truely eight plus months away, that's a long time to wait for this much needed fix. Thanks. -- Kaleb Keithley Jet Propulsion Labs kaleb@thyme.jpl.nasa.gov causing trouble again.
