If the Those who believe Xlib is pure and raw should realize that it provides a wrapper around the X protocol, as well. There is some code in this layer, however thin. People who are really interested in low-level coding should write their own protocol-handlers. But, just as this is obviously gobs of work for little return, so is using Xlib for applications with complex user interfaces. There are higher-level libraries which provide better solutions. Find the right level. -- David B. Lewis Editor, The Motif Developer: http://www.motifzone.com/tmd/ dbl@motifzone.com WebWrangler, The Motif Zone: http://www.motifzone.com/
