I found what I thought was a bug in the XmFileSelection box widget under 
SCO UNIX 3.2.1.  It turns out that the bug was not in the motif code, but
in the dirent routines.  The bug was that the filenames showing up in the selection
window where missing the first two characters from the filenames.

Sure enough, this is what happened when I used dirent routines directly. 
So, if you want to use this widget, the best solution I saw was to get
the
PD dirent routines written by Douglas A. Gwyn, and is generally found in the
unix-pc archives.
