I've got a couple questions for anyone who knows a bit about Xview:

1. When many Scrolling List calls are made in quick succession,
   programs tend to dump core or otherwise go wild.  Is there any
   way of avoiding this short of putting delays between calls?

2. The documented Xview bugs (such as inablility to modify
   the Scrolling List font, etc.) are getting in the way of
   much work.  Are there any patches/new versions of Xview, etc.
   out there that I can use?

3. Is there any software anyone has to replace/imitate Scrolling
   Lists that works better than the standard implementation?



     Help in this area would be greatly appreciated!  Thanx!
