I have tried to use the routines Painter::Read and Painter::Write from
the InterViews library V2.4 for X11. I didn't find out why my program
didn't work, until I had a look at the sourcecode of the library.
There I found the following :

void Painter::Read (
    Canvas* c, void* dst, Coord x1, Coord y1, Coord x2, Coord y2
) {
    /* unimplemented */
}

void Painter::Write (
    Canvas* c, const void* src, Coord x1, Coord y1, Coord x2, Coord y2
) {
    /* unimplemented */
}

I don't understand why the authors didn't implemement these routines for X11
(for X10 they did). And I didn't find this documented !!!
Is there a newer version of InterViews where they are implemented ? Or are
they still missing ?
