Message-ID: <9006282107.AA02370@maui.coral.com> Date: 28 Jun 90 21:07:44 GMT Sender: daemon@athena.mit.edu (Mr Background) Organization: The Internet Lines: 16 Hope you don't mind my using the bandwidth for this question, but why are the names of Motif resources and classes #defined to strings instead of integer constants? Its not a big deal, but it seems like integers would be more efficient to compare.
