Eh? I compiled it with no problems (apart from the ones you included below),
and it gives me a jolly nice display indeed. I can't remember having to
tweak the code at all - not that I would've been able to if I had had to do
it.
Only one bug left, which doesn't bother me - the program doesn't terminate,
and needs a ^C to kill it off. Which is only a tiny bug, as the output is
still saved.
I'm still waiting for a POVRay modeller, however... Anybody out there know
how to program a canvas with Xlib/Xt? None of my X-books mention canvases
at all. sigh.
