	(This is being cross-posted to comp.os.vms and comp.windows.x for
reasons which will become clear.)

	I'm attempting to port the HP Widget set to DECwindows under VMS.
I have almost everything compiled except for two references in the code:
_XtPopup (which is probably some form of macro from the Xt that DEC chose
not to include in the Dwt (DECwindows Toolkit)) and tempnam, which I've
discovered is a C call that DEC chose not to include in VAXC (but they did
include tmpnam...just my luck).  Anyway, DEC bundled a few UN*X-type
string functions (bcopy, bcmp, etc.) with DECwindows to make it easier
to port X applications from other vendors to DECwindows.  This code was
written in VAX MACRO; I was wondering if someone could put together the
MACRO code to handle the functionality of tempnam.  (Learning MACRO is one
of those things on my to-do list, but I'd rather not learn it _and_ X11
at the same time ;-).  Likewise, could someone pass along the code for
_XtPopup (or possibly explain how I might use XtPopup, which is an Xt
intrinsic that is available under DECwindows)?  I'd appreciate any kind
of help with either routine; I realize this is a rather tall order.

							Thanks,
							 Mike
