# To subscribers of the xforms list from Jun Zhou <jun@cert.UCR.EDU> :

Hi,

I have a old program wrote several years ago which is using 'forms'
instead of 'xforms'. It's a old version of the present xforms and only
used by SGI computers.

The mouse event handling of 'forms' is not compatiable with 'xforms'. For
example, these functions will not compile under new xforms library.
fl_qdevice(LEFTMOUSE)
fl_qtest()
fl_qread(&val)
fl_qreset()
fl_unqdevice(MOUSEX)

I scanned through the on line xforms library document, but there has
nothing about mouse event queue. Anybody knows about this?

Also about the *.fd generated by 'forms', if there has a easy way to
convert it to a *.fd which can be loaded by the 'fdesign' of xforms?

I am a new user of xforms. Any people has experience about the conversion
of 'forms' to 'xforms', please drop me a line and I am very appreciate.

By the way, the programs I have include codes generated by old 'forms' and
also some codes wrote by hand.

Thanks in advance!

Jun
