I'm trying to use XmCvtXmStringToCt to convert an XmString
to a char. In the Application Environment Spec. (AES) by
Prentice-Hall, it states that the returned char * string is in
compound text format described in the X Consortium Standard
Compound Text Encoding . Does anyone know where I can find
this document/spec. I've gotten around the problem by stripping
off the leading 9 bytes to leave me with the text portion (yuch), 
but I'd like to do it right.


Thanks,


Danny
