Could the Sun people please tell me if the subroutine calling sequences in the R4 and NeWS versions of XView will remain different or converge. The version of NeWS/X11 we have calls generic attributes VU_xxxx while R4 use XV_xxxx. R4 also more escape functions into Xlib (although they seem to be unnecessary). Thanks.

The XView prefixes were changed from vu_ to xv_ in the middle of the beta process before 1.0 FCS shipped. So, you're comparing XView 1.0 early beta to XView 1.0.1 FCS. As far as XView is concerned, there are no plans to change the prefixes from xv_. I'm not sure what you mean by "R4 also more escape functions into Xlib". Please elaborate. Heather
