[comp.windows.x] Xt documentation for motif 1.0

roseal@sequent.UUCP (Rose Alford) (02/23/90)

Since OSF/MOTIF did not supply documentation for its intrinsic library Xt, I
have a couple of questions: 

Are the documentation and man pages for the MIT X11R3  version of Xt 
sufficient for the MOTIF version?  

Does anyone know why MOTIF supplies 7 man pages from Xt with its Xm man pages?
Are these seven routines different from the ones in MIT Xt in functionality, or
are they routines that are not in the MIT verstion of Xt, but only in the
MOTIF version?

thanks in advance

Yes, except for the man pages that are included with motif.

five of the seven are additions to Xt that have analogous interfaces and 
functionality in the R4 Xt. XtDisplayInitialize  and XtInitialize were included
due to the fact that motif modified them to support selection of application
defaults files based on the $LANG variable (ala XPG3). The R4 Xt has an 
improved version of this modification for language dependent defaults.

Exactly. These seven routines are different from the ones in MIT Xt.
That's why they are in Motif documentation.
