I've modified the HP widget set to work with R3 -- though would
hesitate to claim it bullet-proof.  If you're interested in 
getting the code, let me know.  Have had reasonably good luck 
with it on a Sun3.

A caveat here:  These modifications were not made in any systematic
manner.  I just kept tracking down problems in compilation and
execution and "fiddled" until it worked.  If you use widgets
that I have not, it's entirely possible that you'll need to do
a little "fiddling" yourself.  The only comfort I have to offer
is that it's been hassle free for me for the last several months.

Currently, I'm working to allow use of the Hp Widget set with C++.
Using Bob Miner's headers for ansiXlib.h and ansiXt.h as a base 
(Thanks Bob!) I've added ansiXw.h and "fiddled" until I could
compile and execute a C++ified version of the drawing program 
given as an example in Doug Young's book.  This stuff is much less 
stable and still has a few weeks to go before it will be half-way 
reliable.
