I'm trying to imbed an version info into my UIL files with SCCS so that when they have been compiled, the unix "what" command will be able to tell me what versions of each UIL file are inside a given UID file. I've tried: Value SccsId: '%W% %G%'; <- the %W% and %G% are sccs keywords which will translate into a filename, version number and date. Unfortunately, the UID file wont contain the string in quotes anywhere. (what, grep, and strings can't find it). I have tried creating a XmNLabel widget and making the string an XmNlabelString argument to the widget which does work. However that is somewhat cumbersome. I _suspect_ that the UIL is doing me a *favor* and optimizing the output by omitting my string because it notices that it is never referenced. Does anyone know if this really is the case? Is there a workaround? Thanks -Tim --------------------------------------------------------------------------- In real life: Tim Campbell - Electronic Data Systems Corp.
