Several months ago I asked the question if anyone knows of a source for the 
Quarter Deck Xm tool kit. I guess only those who bought it have the source 
libraries, otherwise it has all gone to the dump. It looks like Xlib and Xaw 
are the outer limits for QDLIB200. Can anyone comment further on this? Maybe 
there is nothing else to comment on. Oh well! It would be nice to have Xt or 
Xm to try out under DVX. There is no look or feel to Xaw widgets.

I have enjoyed learning Xlib and the basics of X development from an old book 
called "X Window Applications Programming by Johnson & Reichard". The examples 
are so clean they compiled with very little tweaking. I had to tweak the 
'makefile' to conform to DJGPP standards. Anyway, the book has certainly helped 
me learn the basics of window creation and destruction using Xlib. Good 
learning material!
