It is simply a static set of objects for building user interfaces. It does not support inheritance. If there is not an object in the toolkit that does what you want, you build one from scratch. You can put XView objects together in a statically prescribed manner, but very often in real world applications that is not what you want to do. Mike Burbidge. mike@cs.byu.edu
