         Hello Roy ( and you others reading this newsgroup ) 

         To Roy Starkey : Sorry for a late answer. Mail kept bouncing back.

         My experiences in x-programming with m2 are limited.
         So far I have managed to create a window with a canvas in it.
         That worked fine and I suppose the rest of m2 procedures
         are going to do so too. Only bad thing I have noticed has
         been an enourmous use of space. That most simple single canvas-
         window program produced a 1.2 Mb a.out then compiled.

         I have been using Sun M2 only.

         Heikki

         PS. The Riddle of CONST definition PW_POLYGON_2 = 6; in xview/pixwin.def
             is still without a solution. In one reply ( (thank you)s ) I was
             told about CCALL. It is in SunM2 too, but I find it hard to use :

             1) Converting C-structures to M2-correspondings
             2) If c-function wanted is not a hm.. " stantard " c-function
                no a.out is produced. Maybe I ought to try with more -l options.
