[comp.windows.x] How to...

foonberg@AEROSPACE.AERO.ORG (Alan M. Foonberg) (10/06/87)

Hi,

I don't know if this is the correct place to be sending this request,
so I apologize if I am not following correct protocol...

I was told to learn Xwindows.  Thrown upon me were 2 manuals:  Xlib - C
Language X Interface, and X Toolkit Library - C Language Interface.
Our target machine is a Sun workstation, and we have verion 11 of Xwindows.
Which manual is more appropriate for a complete beginner in Xwindows?
Is there a "How to..." guide available with simple examples?

I'd appreciate any help you could point me towards.

Thanks,

Alan Foonberg

Hello xperts,
	I suspect this has been asked before - but I will ask again:
Does anyone know of a tool that would allow a Macintosh generated graphic
in PICT format to be used in an X program ? I suspect that doing this would
be tantamount to writing a QuickDraw interpreter for X ... which would
also be a nice thing to know about. So if anyone has leads, I'd love to
hear from you.
	Thanks in advance.
