OK, I finally found out that I needed to include "Use_libgraphic()" in the
Imakefile for the program I had included in the earlier posting.  When I did
so, unfortunately, I discovered that the graphic library had NOT been installed
during the installation process.  I tried to create it by copying the
XCONFIG file into the src/lib/graphic directory and then doing a 
"make Makefiles; make depend; make all"; I did in fact wind up with a
libgraphic.so.3.0 file, although for some reason my file system has it labeled
as an executable (neither of the two other InterViews libraries that were
installed automatically are marked as executables).  When I finally got
everything to link by copying libgraphic.so.3.0 into installed/lib/SUN4,
wanna know what I got when I tried running a.out?

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Now is this because the .so file is messed up, or is the example I typed in 
from that magazine is buggy (or did I screw it up when I typed it in)?
(I wouldn't be surprised if it were buggy.  I had to fix a couple of typos and
variable names just to get the damn thing to compile.)

Another question:  is there any documentation for InterViews aside from the
reference manuals?  If so, PLEASE tell me where I can find it, 'cause perusing
a reference manual is *NOT* a fun way to try to learn new material...

Thanks,

Scott Davies

(To those who replied to the posting concerning my earlier problem:
thanks a LOT!  Unfortunately, the computer system here doesn't recognize
your e-mail addresses, so I couldn't mail you back.)
