I am new to the world of X and I -think- I have a question
regarding portability of programs written under X. Can
anyone explain to me what a UIL pre-compiler is/does? A
project has come up recently to port code from SCO Xenix
to HP-UX. In my spin up programs under HP-UX I have never
heard mention of or needed to use such a pre-compiler. Any
information would be appreciated.

One is that at 1.1 there should be available a meta-language for describing new widgets for UIL. The more likely explanation though is that someone has written a preprocessor for UIL to hide the syntax from the user. I know that was *my* first thought when I saw UIL. -kee -- Alphalpha Software, Inc. | motif-request@alphalpha.com nazgul@alphalpha.com |----------------------------------- 617/646-7703 (voice/fax) | Proline BBS: 617/641-3722 I'm not sure which upsets me more; that people are so unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions, or that they are so eager to regulate everyone else's.

I think that your first guess is the correct one. There is no something called the "Widget Meta Language" (aka WML) which is used by the UIL pre-compiler to actually build the UIL compiler.
