Many thanks for your response - the only one I received to my posting;
as it happens, I also got a response from DEC today, saying something
similar but in a less definitive fashion - it was a copy of a note from
someone at OSF to someone using a Sun who was also concerned about the
'missing' libPW.a.  Your confirmation of their rather tentative view is
most helpful.

Of course, this still leaves me with the original problem - that this
application has stopped reading/writing files!~  I am convinced that the
motif for Ultrix file selection box code is buggy - the periodic demo
produces :
Fixed up unaligned data access for pid 932 (periodic) at pc 0x4de4b0
Fixed up unaligned data access for pid 932 (periodic) at pc 0x4de618
when the fsb is fetched and whenever the Filter button is pressed.

Nevertheless, I think there must be a wild pointer or something in the
application - if this were a routine problem with motif for Ultrix, I'm
sure it would have been noticed before.  Ah well, now that libPW.a has
been eliminated from enquiries, it's back to thrashing the debugger, I
think!
