I've already compiled xhw (helloworld in X using Xt and Athena)
with a C++ compiler (CC or g++) and it works fine.
Have you applied the MIT fixes (number 2, 10 and 11, I think)
to your original R4 headers?
It was bogus in the January release (experimental, they said).
For Motif, the 1.1 release will also include prototyped headers
for running C++ or Ansi C programs.
