I started porting a ~15,000 line application to XView a couple of days
ago.  The full conversion routines worked fairly well.  I found
myself using all portions of the API and conversion manuals.

Some canvases aren't drawn on.  I assume I should
write on the canvas paint window or create REPAINT_PROCs.

When I use a DS3100 for a server (both app and olwm on a Sun), more of the
canvases don't get drawn on.  pw_text and pw_vector don't work on
one canvas where they had on the Sun server.  Resizing a window in olwm caused
the machine (or at least the X server) to crash (!).

What are the xv_set/xv_get warnings (not an object [?]), and how
do I get rid of them?
