A Note: Page 298 of XView Programming Manual by Dan Heller refers to an attribute of SERVER_IMAGE called SERVER_IMAGE_BITMAP_FILE. It is referenced again on page 431. The attr does not exist in xview 1.0.1 The middle third of the page is fantasy. However, if you have the source for xview you can modify load_icon_mpr (the old sunview icon stuff) to load icon edit files into a short array suitable for SERVER_IMAGE_BITS. For some strange reason, the old icon_load routines are still laying around even though xview supposedly uses a different method for creating icons (server_images). Usual qualifying statement: This note may be so much manure when xview 2.0 arrives.

Great pains are taken to make XView backwards compatible with Sunview. Some advice: don't use compatibility routines or attributes. You're not guaranteed to have them in the future. -- dan ---------------------------------------------------- O'Reilly && Associates argv@sun.com / argv@ora.com Opinions expressed reflect those of the author only.
