Subject: Building NCSA Visualization tools on the NeXT; HP Widget library

I am interested in bringing up NCSA's X Image and X DataSlice on the NeXT,
now that X Windows is available on the Cube.

These scientific visualization programs are available free via anonymous
FTP from ZAPHOD.NCSA.UIUC.EDU, but they require you to have available the
HP X Widget library.

NCSA is kind enough to make the sources for the HP library available, too, but
you guessed it -- the HP X Widget library croaks when you try to build it, even
after modifying the Makefiles to look "Sun"-like, complaining about some of
the structure declarations in the .h files.

Therefore, my question to y'all is this: are any of the rest of you interested
in trying to bring these visualization tools up under X on the NeXT? Has
anyone successfully built the HP X widgets already on the NeXT?

I want these programs for my NeXT, but I don't want to re-invent the wheel or
waste a lot of time if one of you real C-language all stars is already just 
about done with this little project.

Thanks,

Joe St Sauver (JOE@OREGON.UOREGON.EDU or JOE@OREGON)

P.S. Do the rest of you have a screwy looking cat-format man page for 
man 1 cc ? Is this an artifact of something I've inadvertently done, or 
does everyone have a dinged up
/NextLibrary/Documentation/Unix/ManPages/cat/cc.1 ? Just curious... J
