     Volume 4M, X Toolkit Intrinsics Programming Manual, Motif Edition
                             By Adrian Nye
                  714 pages, ISBN 1-56592-013-9, $34.95
              (Now available. Available overseas in October.)


Newly updated to cover X11 Release 5, Volume 4 is a complete guide to 
programming with Xt Intrinsics, the library of C language routines that 
facilitate the design of user interfaces, with reusable components called 
widgets.  It provides concepts and examples that show how to use the various 
X Toolkit routines.  The Motif widget set (and in a few cases, the Athena
widget set) are used for examples to demonstrate how to use the Xt 
Intrinsics.  New coverage of internationalization and resource management
and an introduction to what's new in Motif 1.2 are also included.

Contents include:
 - introduction to the X Window System
 - building applications with widgets
 - constructing a bitmap editor with widgets
 - basic widget methods
 - events, translations, and accelerators
 - event handlers, timeouts, and work procedures
 - resource management and type conversion
 - selections and window manager interaction
 - geometry management
 - menus, gadgets, and cascaded pop-ups
 - miscellaneous techniques
 - comparison of Athena, OSF/Motif, and AT&T OPEN LOOK widgets
 - master index to volumes 4 and 5

This book is designed to be used with Volume 5, X Toolkit
Intrinsics Reference Manual, which provides reference pages
for each of the Xt functions and the widget classes defined
by Xt.  Detailed coverage of Motif widgets and features is 
found in Volume 6.
