Subject: Hints on creating a spreadsheet under X
Message-Id: <2928@crash.cts.com>
Sender: convex!expo.lcs.mit.edu!xpert-request
To: xpert@expo.lcs.mit.edu

I'm just about to start designing a VERY simple spreadsheet
application within X and wonder if some kind soul out there
has any hints or pointers so that I don't run down a blind alley.
I've coded a spreadsheet in sunview (a long time ago) and found I had
to allocate a lot of space for virtual cell store. This can't be the
way to go since I should only need space for those cells that are
"on screen" (I'd like to dynamically allocate as I scroll).

Can anyone out there suggest an X idiom that I should investigate?
