In that case you will probably want to do your X programming using the XView toolkit, which is nearly identical to the Sunview interface. (The main difference is that all the XXX_ prefixes are replaced by xv_). (Really try it, you can almost use the Sunview manual) Of course this generates an Open Look GUI program, but I do not consider that a problem. ------------------ uunet!tdatirv!sarima (Stanley Friesen)
