Hello.

The X Intrinsics manual states on page 83 that there is a resource type
XtRFloat and then
on page 87 that there is a resource converter from XtRString to
XtRFloat.  Well, as
I was writing a new widget this afternoon, I found that neither one of
these things are actually
defined by the Intrinsics.  I did find XtRFloat defined in Scroll.h in
the Athena widget set, but still
no converter.  Was this part of the manual supposed to be left out until
a later release?

Just curious,
Damon
