I recently purchased a book entitled "X Window Systems Programming and Applications with Xt" by Douglas A. Young. Since I am planning on trying things out with this book under DECwindows on a VMS system, I figured I might have a little trouble, but I wasn't prepared for what I encountered. The book constantly refers to what it calls the "X Widget set" both in the explanatory text and the example programs, throughout. These widgets are of the form Xw<widget>WidgetClass and the include files are from a directory named "Xw". The book mentions that this widget set is normally distributed with the X sources, but I couldn't find them on a local UN*X system running X (V11R3). I do not have ready access to tar(2vms) or (de)compress, so I would need access to the files in their "raw" form. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I might get the "X Widget set" (preferably via FTP)? Much obliged, Mike ________________________________________________________________________ | THE InterNet address> davism@kcgl1.eng.ohio-state.edu | | CompuServe> 73667,541 | |------------------------------------------------------------------------| | These_Thoughts := My_Own | |************************************************************************| | "Daddy, Daddy!!

What the author refers to as the "X Widget set" is really the HP Widget set. A version written for the R2 intrinsics is included on the X source tape as part of the contrib software, but you must apply a set of patches (available from uunet and elsewhere) to adapt the HP Widget set to the R3 intrinsics. Perhaps someone else out there can steer you to a set of pre-patched R3 sources for Xw... -- William Kucharski ARPA: kucharsk@uts.amdahl.com UUCP: ...!{ames,decwrl,sun,uunet}!amdahl!kucharsk Disclaimer: The opinions expressed above are my own, and may not agree with those of any other sentient being, not to mention those of my employer.

Hi,
I noticed that an R3 version of the HP widgets is available by anonymous
ftp at ai.totonto.edu (128.100.1.65) in pub/x/Xhp.R3.tar.Z. I have
not used these personally, only peeked at the README file.
