Has to be a bug in the FlatCheckbox code, then, one that is
chip-related (i.e. a bug that is benign on the '386 but not on
the SPARC). For what it is worth, the originally posted code
is correct, except for the XtArgVal.

If you don't have the source to the OpenWindows 2.0 release
(or at least the source to OLIT), then I believe the answer is
"Sorry, no."

Yes, but.

Yes, the OPEN LOOK 4.0 toolkit has been available for about 6
months or so, from USL. [I'll send information directly to
Stuart Pook, who asked the question.]

But, the Sun and USL releases are out of phase, which means
OLIT 2.5 (yes, I was mistaken when I called it OpenWindows 2.5)
has the advantage of a few months of bug fixing, over the OPEN
LOOK 4.0 release. So while you can get the 4.0 code, you may
find it has some other (SPARC-related) bugs. My apologies.
