Hello everybody,

I am trying to learn InterViews (we have IV 2.6 with g++ under SunOS 4.1.)
and now have the following problem. According to the examples in publications
I specified a global constant 'space' and failed. The constant always had
the value 0. But when I write the same constant definition after defining
a World variable the constant value is non zero!

For example the following small program

	#include <stream.h>
	#include <InterViews/world.h>

	int main() {
	 const double space1 = inch;
	 World* world = new World();
	 const double space2 = inch;
	 cout << inch <<"  "<<  space1<<"  "<<  space2 <<"\n";
	 return 0;
	}

produces the output:

	90  0  90

So maybe the variable inch (from file defs.h) is initialized by defining 
a World variable.
Is this a bug or a feature???

How is it possible to have (global) constants based on 'inch'?

Thanks for hints and information
					Uli.
