No, Form is a one way constraint widget.
You only need to set the top of the selectedList to the bottom
of the fileList.

I have an application that uses a number of lists and scrolled lists.
Under certain circumstances, I need to make certain lists insensitive.
My problem is that while the frame and the lable of the list turn grey,
the text inside the list does not.  For large lists, it is easy to not
notice the grey frame and label.

Why doesn't the list text turn grey?  Is this a motif bug?  Feature?

I would be interested to here about the relative merits of UIM/X and DEC

ease of use or learning curve? UIM/X claims easy utilization of existing
character based applications. Does VUIT have similar properties? And, how
about modify-compile-link - are there differences in the steps required?
One more point: are there differences in use of additional widget libraries?

The title says it all really...

I'm trying to write an application that includes an interactive tree of widgets.
I want this tree to be updated depending on which node a user clicks on, e.g.
following a path down the tree, displaying node widgets as it goes.

In most of my (simple) applications I just set up all my widgets, then do a
XtRealizeWidget and then a XtMainLoop.

Presumably this isn't the way to do it :-)

Can anyone help ?

Actually, BinHex is NOT a compression utility.  In fact, it's the opposite.
The BinHex file format is the Macintosh equivalent of uuencoding.  It's a 
method for encoding a binary file in ONLY printable ascii characters.  Since
each byte of binary code (256 values) is being converted to a printable ascii
character (less than 256 values), it takes more than 1 character to represent
a byte of binary code.  Because of this, BinHex will EXPAND a file rather than
compress it.

How can it happen? What can I do.

Description:
Sun 630 mp , IPX{SunOS 4.1.2, 4.1.1, 4.1.3} OW3.0, and HDS XTERM.
running the olwm from the sun as a client.

I Have a large HOME BUILT X program (4.5 meg) that
runs under OW3.0  on my IPX or 630MP fine. However, If
I fire-up XDM on either machien and connect via my Xterm
this same binary CORE DUMP via (SEGMENT - VIOLATION).

Debug indicates that this program segVs on the very first line
of C code no matter what that line of code may be.  It has
been compiled with both static and non-static options under
my SUN ANSI C copmiler.

How is this possible? Is there something about XDM
that would cause this. I have a companion program
that is about half the size of this one, but uses
almost the same forms and utilities written for the 
program.

Rudlin, M.D. (Medical Software and Computer Systems) takes a
straightforward illustrative program to demonstrate the various
techniques, problems, and challenges the programmer faces when
employing XView toolkit.  This tutorial focuses on the interplay
between the XView toolkit and the source code.  Participants should
have experience in C programming and a basic understanding of the
XView toolkit.

SPECIAL OFFER: 5 full conference registrations (each includes a day of
any tutorial) for the price of 4 when preregistering with a single
payment.

Other full-day tutorials:

- Advanced Unix Security (Matt Bishop, Dartmouth College)
- Preparing for Disaster (a.m. - Brent Chapman, Great Circle Associates),

- Programming in POSIX (Jeffrey S. Haemer, Canary Software)	
- UNIX Programming Tools (Kenneth Ingham, consultant)
- The Internet and its Protocols (William LeFebvre, Northwestern University)
- Introduction to UNIX System Administration (Dinah McNutt, Tivoli Systems)

If you just want to go to the exhibits, ask for a free show-only pass.

To get more information by email about these tutorials, the technical
program, or exhibits at the Sun User Group conference, send requests
