[comp.windows.x] Douglas Young's book

mjo@china.uu.net (Michael Ondrejko) (11/09/89)

A couple weeks ago, I remember seeing a message about a revision of the
Douglas Young book "X Window Systems Programming and Applications with XT"
that would be available later this year on programming with the Motif
widget set.  I was wondering if someone could give me a little more
information about this.

- The work that I am doing is using the Motif widget set and I was
  wondering if I should buy the current book, or wait for the Motif
  revision?  Is there enough general information in the current book to
  make it worthwhile?

- Does anyone know exactly (or approx) when the Motif revision will be
  available?

Thanks,

Dear Marc Layman,

While browsing some old messages I saw a message of
yours regarding Douglas Young's book. This is exactly the
book that we are starting to read now, but we have encountered
some problems. Some of these may be caused by the configuration we 
are using, which is an IBM/RT using Release 2 (!)

Have you got all (or most) examples running now?

Which Release of X/11 are you using now, and using which hardware ?
