I would like to know if anyone out there in netsville is able to
make c++ and X work together.  I am currently running on a apollo 4500
SR10.3.  I know about doing thins like:

extern "C" {

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
....

}

My problem seem to be that c++ is very picky about argument 
types and likes all of the functions to be prototyped eg

//extern Widget XtInitialize();		/* does not cut it....*/
//    /* String             name; */
//    /* String             class; */
//    /* XrmOptionsDescRec  options; */
//    /* Cardinal           num_options; */
//    /* Cardinal           *argc; */ /* returns count of args not processed */
//    /* char               **argv; */

This seems to kind of work...
extern Widget XtInitialize( String, String, XrmOptionDescRec,
                            Cardinal, Cardinal*, char**);

I would love to talk (email) someone that has actually got
things working.  Part of my problem is that I am new to both
c++ and X.  Any bits of advice/code would be gladly taken.

thanks in advance...
