This is a pointer to an announcement on comp.newprod of a new book from
Prentice Hall:

  The X Window System: Applications and Programming with Xt 
      by Douglas Young.

The book describes the X Toolkit from an application programmer's
perspective, using HP's X Widget set.  The book relies heavily on examples,
presenting and dissecting over 40 complete working programs.  The examples
have been tested with the contributed R2-based HP widget set, available in
the R3 distribution, the R3 patches available on expo, and HP's R2-based
product widget set. Where there are differences, the book describes the R3
Intrinsics, but most examples and discussion apply to either R2 or R3.  The
book presents a unified view of the X Window System, describing and
demonstrating how to write applications using both the X Toolkit layer (Xt
Intrinsics + widgets) and Xlib. Three chapters on writing new widgets are
also included. The book is 477 pages long, including an index,
bibliography, and appendixes containing reference material. Suggested
retail price is $25.95, and the book should be in bookstores within the 
next two weeks.

Please see comp.newprod for the complete announcement.
