Xt Intrinsics "application context" contains a field app->rv (reverse video),
initialized at the application startup.
To get to this field in Motif's R3 Intrinsics, I am forced to include
the whole suite of ...I.h header files.
Is there any better way to find out, in particular in R4 or R5(?), what
this value is ?
I need this value inside the StringToPixel convertor, as I have to reload
the default one to be able to keep track of color cell allocation counts
[Bob Scheifler explained that the server should keep reference counts,
but none of the servers I'v got around does, so I have to do it myself
to prevent application from freeing a color allocated by the converter]

I sort of answered this sideways. I didn't find a way to use app->rv. It is set from the *reverseVideo resource, so just get the value of that and pass it to your converter. According to R4 includes you can pass the address of a static Boolean variable: typedef enum { /* address mode parameter representation */ /* ------------ ------------------------ */ XtAddress, /* address */ XtBaseOffset, /* offset */ XtImmediate, /* constant */ XtResourceString, /* resource name string */ XtResourceQuark, /* resource name quark */ XtWidgetBaseOffset, /* offset from ancestor */ XtProcedureArg /* procedure to invoke */ } XtAddressMode; -- Jeff Sparkes jsparkes@bnr.ca Another feature is that the seats float, so that the airline can recover them if the plane crashes into the ocean. -- Dave Barry
