Reading the V11 spec, I noticed lots of changes that seem to affect applications programs. For example, the mouse support no longer assumes three buttons arranged left-to-right; instead it simply provides for mouse buttons named "1" through "5". Thus, I would expect that I will have to edit some of my applications to change "RightDownMotion" to "Button3Motion". Some of the names of the abstractions have also changed, implying that the subroutine bindings might change too. In other cases, subroutine argument lists have been significantly modified (e.g., XLine). Am I correct in my assumption that V10 applications are incompatible? Or is there perhaps a compatibility library? Geoff Kuenning geoff@ITcorp.COM
