The evil that men do really does chase them forever. I can see in the code Charles Brauer just posted some of the unclever hacks and self-derisive commentary I made as a contractor at Fujitsu America last year. Those of you who cannot compile this because of the lack of XtNshrinkToFit et al, well, it looks like R3 didn't include all the diffs I made to the Box widget. I know I mailed (some of) them to xbugs, but given their ugliness I am unsurprised that they didn't make the distribution. Charles, perhaps you should post your Box widget source code? It probably won't win any awards for portability or cleanliness, but it would let every- body run the demo. It might also give someone an idea for a real menu widget, which as far as I know, does not yet exist in the world. -- Paul Vixie Work: vixie@decwrl.dec.com decwrl!vixie +1 415 853 6600 Play: paul@vixie.sf.ca.us vixie!paul +1 415 864 7013
