[comp.windows.x] HP Widgets, HP Xt re R3.

morris@dms.UUCP (Jim Morris) (10/03/89)

I am trying to build the HP widgets with the x11r3 Xt. I noticed
that HP made changes to their version of Xt, does anyone have a
list of the differences between the HP Xt and the R3 Xt??

I got the sources off the X11R3 contibutions tape. I think I got all
the updates to R3, installed (It appeared to be still R2), but I want to
use the 'Standard Xt' so I can mix and match with the Athena widgets.

	Thanks for any help.

Well, to begin with the Xt distributed with the widgets is a bug fixed
R2 library, not an R3 library.  The R3 intrinsics were not made
available outside of DEC in time for us to modify and test our widget
set before the R3 tape deadline.

You'll need to use R2 Athena widgets or R3 HP widgets
This is not a "supported" activity.  If you don't care about keyboard
traversal of the interface, you'll probably get away with it.  Widget
sets are not guaranteed to be mixable and matchable.
