You are only sort of wrong.... The look and feel of the two applications should be ~identical, but the user still should be able to tell them apart. Since Xt+ works like regular Xt, the user will be able to set resources in the 'traditional' X11 fashion (i.e., with xrdb and .Xresources files). To my knowledge Xview programs don't do it that way. I think they would prefer to see some sort of pop-up defaults editor for the end user... (I won't bother to argue which way is the best) Robert -- | Robert L.
