Okay, I'd better send this out before I get royally flamed. ------>>>>>>>> The fixes I sent to the HP widget set will allow it to compile under R3! Some of the widgets will run. Not all of them will work! In particular, Dave Nelson reported to me that the Panel widgets will not due to a difference calling interface (XtWidgetProc & XtOrderProc). I received a note from Doug Young @ HP informing me that Salvador Pinto Abreu posted some R3 HP widgets to athena. I have not seen the widgets or his fixes (I haven't been reading news until recently), but I would be interested in finding out what their status is. Are they under Xhp on expo? I'll grab them and make a of report later this week. Also, (what generated all this in the first place) I am working on a program that reads a widget hierarchy out of the resource database and displays them. Is anybody working on anything that reads a database of widgets and displays them? I am aware of Richard Carling's work. I think DECwindows does something like this, but I would like to know more. (Reply by mail) Thanks for all the mail! John "Ecletic Widgets" Carlson carlson@tis.llnl.gov
