What is the recommended way for a X program to receive data from another program? XtAddInput() seems to be the only Xt supported way and that is biased towards sockets (I think). Does SVR3.2 (386) have "real" sockets?? I would prefer to use message queues but when I go from using XtMainLoop() to using XtPending(), XtNextEvent(), XtDispatchEvent() plus a non-blocking msgrcv(), the performace of the user infterface drops significantly. Do I have to wait for Release 4 to avoid polling? John Young
