Neither of the two fixes to the HP widgets, one posted by
spa%hara.fctunl.rccn.pt@MITVMA.MIT.EDU (Salvador Pinto Abreu) and
another, posted more recently by
carlson%black-ice.tis.llnl.gov@tis.llnl.gov (John Carlson) appear to
work fully for us, at least for R3 on a Sun3/180. xpic dumps core
somewhere deep inside the Xw routines when I try it. (It works fine
with R2 Xt, R2 Xw, and R3 Xlib)

Scanning through the fixes, it appears that there are some aspects of
R2->R3 conversion that have been missed. The note in
doc/tutorials/r3widgets.ms describes what's needed to convert widgets
to R3 (and its enough work that I put it aside...)

We have an include directory with the R2 Xt includes from the Xt
directory in /usr/include/Xt-R2/X11, and the "hardened" R2 Xt
installed as /usr/lib/libXt-R2.a, so that Xw users have to use
-I/usr/include/Xt-R2 and -lXt-R2 instead of -lXt. This works, but
isn't great - we'd much prefer R3 widgets.

Will HP be releasing R3 versions of their widgets at some point?
