Hi, I'm porting an application program using HP widgets from Sun workstation
to different platforms. The HP widgets source I got is from expo.lcs.mit and
the time stamp is Sep 22, 1988. There was once I compiled HP widget under
an Ardent computer and tested it with a few test programs. The menu widget
failed to respond to any mouse events. And A few weeks ago, I did it again
with a Sun 3/60 under SunOS 4.01. This time, XtGetValuse always returns a
nil pointer for string resource. I don't have any patch applied to the HP
widgets source I have and therefore I am not sure if the problems above are
caused by the bugs in HP widgets. I'm using Sun 3/60 and SunOS 3.5 with X11R3
installed.

My question is :

  Has anyone used HP widget under different platforms other than Sun ?
  I like to know if there are any problems with HP widget under different
  platforms ?

Thanks for any information in respond to this question.
