Someone recently posted an article asking how to convert character frames
to motif. Here is one way: Use a form widget as the container, and for
each item contained, attach to the frame and use the *Offset resource(s)
to position. Converting an x,y to the appropriate pixel address requires
that you pick a font, and use its' metrics. I have developed a set of
libraries that allow x/y positioned dialog boxes to be created, and would
be happy to share the details via e-mail or voice. I am reached (currently)
at portal!gemini!carl, or, (415)-493-4122
