| This change is described in the release notes (or maybe New Features)
manual. You need to use 'separate=true' and concatenation. Here's
an example from DECW$EXAMPLES:HELLOWORLD.UIL:
label_label = compound_string('Hello', separate=true)&
compound_string('World!');

| I couldn't get separate=true to work with my Pascal version of
HELLOWORLD and HELLOWORLD.UIL. Everything came out on one
line. I've QARed it when I couldn't find anything wrong with it.

| This feature was broken in various ways throughout the field test of
DECwindows V2, but seems to work ok for me in the SSB release. I griped
loudly about the then-undocumented change when it first appeared in
the FT1 of DECwindows V2.

| I wonder about the unanswered part of .0: what about upward compatibility?

| It is still broken on my machine running the SSB release (which
was mup'ed from the pre-SSB limited release if that makes any
difference).

Apparently you can say UIL/V1 to get the old behavior.
Re: .5
Guess I'll try it again in the morning. I know it worked for me as of
FT2.

Actually, I thought it was UIL/VER=V1.

Yes, you're right.
Re: .5
Well, I'll be darned. It's broken again! It DID work in T5.3-462!
I don't know why I'm surprised, though... sigh! QAR time once again.

| 1789.9 | UIL is ok, HELLOWORLD.UID is broken | QUARK::LIONEL | Free advice is worth every cent | Thu Nov 30 1989 17:04 | 18 |
| I've been in communication with the DWT people about this. It seems that
I was mistaken in thinking that compiling DECW$EXAMPLES:HELLOWORLD.UIL
still got newlines ignored. The reason is that I tested it by running
the HELLOWORLD.EXE that is in DECW$EXAMPLES. This version has
DECW$EXAMPLES:HELLOWORLD.UID hardcoded into the program - in previous
versions, it just had HELLOWORLD.UID, and that's what the FORTRAN and Ada
versions have.
So when I ran, I ran against the HELLOWORLD.UID that was supplied in
DECW$EXAMPLES on the kit. This UID file was not correctly compiled
or the wrong source was used so that the newlines don't appear. If I
recompile the UIL and run the FORTRAN version against it, it works fine.
I had QARed the fact that a bogus UID file was included with FT2. I guess
no action was ever taken on it. I notice that the file was compiled on
29-September.

| 1789.10 | More info on size changes of widgets? | EPIK::HEILMAN | Rael Imperial Aerosal Kid | Tue Dec 05 1989 14:39 | 9 |

Does anyone have an informal list of the apparent size changes for V2 widgets
that they have noticed? (I did a search for "size" but did not find a note
entered already).
Thanks HH
