We would love to do so, and have in the past sent Ousterhout copies of our fixes and extensions. He has, to his credit, picked some of them up... but he doesn't appear interested in any closer co-operation than that. He is mainly using TCL as an extension language for X. We mainly use it as a scripting language and an extension language for traditional UNIX style applications, so the differences are understandable. What does 5.0 have over 3.0, other than the change in the name of the X toolkit? -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' peter@ferranti.com +1 713 274 5180. 'U` "Have you hugged your wolf today?"
