XmStringWidth - A compound string function that returns the width of the longest sequence of text components in a compound string
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
Dimension XmStringWidth (fontlist, string)
XmFontList fontlist;
XmString string;
DESCRIPTION
XmStringWidth returns the width, in pixels, of the longest sequence of text components in the provided compound string. Separator compo-
nents are used to delimit sequences of text components. Specifies the font list Specifies the string
RETURN VALUE

XmStringDraw - A compound string function that draws a compound string in an X window
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmStringDraw (d, w, fontlist, string, gc, x, y, width, alignment, layout_direction, clip)
Display * d;
Window w;
XmFontList fontlist;
XmString string;
GC gc;
Position x;
Position y;
Dimension width;
unsigned char alignment;
unsigned char layout_direction;
XRectangle * clip;
DESCRIPTION
XmStringDraw draws a compound string in an X Window. If a compound string segment uses a font list entry that defines a font set, the
graphic context passed to this routine will have the GC font member left in an undefined state. The underlying XmbStringDraw function
called by this routine modifies the font id field of the GC passed into it and does not attempt to restore the font id to the incoming
value. If the compound string segment is not drawn using a font set, the graphic context must contain a valid font member. Graphic con-
texts created by XtGetGC are not valid for this routine; instead, use XtAllocateGC to create a graphic context. Specifies the display.
Specifies the window. Specifies the font list. Specifies the string. Specifies the graphics context to use. Specifies a coordinate of
the rectangle that will contain the displayed compound string. Specifies a coordinate of the rectangle that will contain the displayed
compound string. Specifies the width of the rectangle that will contain the displayed compound string. Specifies how the string will be
aligned within the specified rectangle. It is either XmALIGNMENT_BEGINNING, XmALIGNMENT_CENTER, or XmALIGNMENT_END. Controls the direction
in which the segments of the compound string will be laid out. It also determines the meaning of the alignment parameter. Allows the
application to restrict the area into which the compound string will be drawn. If NULL, no clipping will be done.

Hi Folks,
Today hasn't been the best one of my career in IT.
I've been a contractor for a major utility company for a number of years, on a number of seperate IT contracts mostly Unix. The company had 10 different flavours of unix and multiple different varsions of most of them.
