For the record, here is the X version of 'hello, world'.  Bigger than an
Interstate?  You judge.

==============
#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>
#include <X11/StringDefs.h>
#include <X11/Label.h>

main(argc, argv)
    int argc; char **argv;
{
    Widget top = XtInitialize(argv[0], "xhw", NULL, 0, &argc, argv);
    XtCreateManagedWidget("hello, world", labelWidgetClass, top, NULL, NULL);
    XtRealizeWidget(top);
    XtMainLoop();
}
==============
Compile it with the basic X libraries and run it.  What's more, by changing
just 2 words in this program, you can convert from a simple user interface
to a Motif or OpenLook user interface.
