Has anyone tried using the X11 Athena widget set with Sequent's
parallel programming library? I thought it would be interesting to 
attach a m_fork or fork to a callback function (no more busy cursors
etc). I tried a simple test with the hello world program e.g.,

% cc xhw3.c -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lX11 -lpps -o hw
% hw
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open Display

If you take all the microtasking code out and just recompile with
-lpps you get the same result. It works fine without -lpps. Also
if you compile a non-toolkit program with -lpps (I tried the ico
demo program) that works.

Anyone know if there are any clashes between Xaw and pps ??
