I've tried to compile this code on Linux using gcc, (I'm not a C programmer, I'm a C hacker at best), and have run into many problems with the calls to the X library, e.g. invalid argument types, invalid number of arguments to "Xfunction". Rather than "FIX" the code, is this a "Linux" quirk or would one believe that this would be a problem with gcc/FreeBSD too. Note, there is NO problem (NONE!) on the other commerical unixes and yes, I'm using the same X11R6 release, etc. Thanks for your opinions. Ben
