   RWS>A widget set from Sony is now available for anonymous ftp from

   Well, it assumes Xtk, not Xt;

Actually, it needs Xaw.

   SScroll won't compile under 4.3BSD/Vax
   pcc (attempts to assign to a cast; (int)frep = foo is *not* valid...);
   SScroll will not compile under gcc 1.26 either (the XtOffset macro is
   called `not constant'... SO IS THE X11R3 ONE!!!)

   Fixing the 4 assignments was simple, but getting it to actually build
   with Xt is failing badly. The examples, when compiled, refer to:

   _boxWidgetClass
   _clockWidgetClass
   _popupWidgetClass
   _XtGrayPixmap
   _formClassRec
   _simpleClassRec

   all of which are undefined. Has anyone made progress on actually using
   this toolkit under R2? Perhaps the wrong version was put on expo?

Ok, here are some hints (are you listening Sony).

1) Edit (in lib) SBitmap.c Swindow.c.  Replace the font 8x16kana with
something else (I used 8x13).

2) Edit SBitmap.h, Make the default bitmap path something reasonable
(This should be a define in the makefile).

3) Edit all makefiles to make TOP whatever you need.

4) compile, you should get as far as smenu, which will die since there
is no popupWidgetClass.

5) Edit SButtons, change xbuttons to sbuttons.  Change
closeBox.bitmapFile: null  to a real bitmap file (null doesn't exist
in examples/bitmaps).  Change
closeBox.highlightBitmapFile: highlight_close_box to a real bitmap
file.  Change resizeButton.bitmapFile: resize_button to a real bitmap
file.  Change smallIcon.bitmapFile: small_icon to a real bitmap file.

6) load SButtons with xrdb -merge (or copy it to your app-defaults).

7) run sbuttons (one down)

8) load SBitmap with xrdb -merge (or copy it to your app-defaults).

9) run sbitmap (two down)

10) load SDialog with xrdb -merge (or copy it to your app-defaults).

11) run sdialog.  This will probably fail after you push the button.

If anyone gets any further (like Sony), could you please post
directions or patches.
