I found a set of routine called XSelectAsyncEvent and XSelectAsyncInput on DECwindows manual(VMS), but I could not find corresponding routine in the O'Reilly & Associates's Reference Manual nor other tutorials like Oliver Johnes'. Are they vender specific routine or standard (portable) Xlib ? The reason why I need them is, I do not want to wait or stop execution after certain drawing on window, I think I need some sort of event dispatch mechanism other than event-loop type dispatching. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Yoshiyuki Saiki saiki@ase.slb.com S.K.K Engineering Fuchinobe Sagamihara-city Kanagawa Japan

The VMS version provides an X interface to the VMS AST mechanism. A UNIX version was developed for compatibility. You might want to try the callback functions in the X Toolkit, which provide similar functionality. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif.
