This may have been hashed out...etc..etc (standard pre-apology ;-) Is there planned changes to (at least) the Athena widgets for compatability with Ansi C compilers? They restrict token length to 512 characters (I think). I have seen this problem since Sequent limits it to 2k characters and libXaw still chokes (Text.c) (The token length is plenty for some things, but it also applies to initializing strings which is not going to cut it for a lot of code) I don't want a "Ansi" war here, just whether it is being looked into, is done, is planned etc etc. No flames eh? mtr

Nope, not done. We made one small re-arrangement to help the
MACII compiler, but that's the only one that's complained at
us so far about token length.
