     Is there planned changes to (at least) the Athena widgets for
     compatability with Ansi C compilers?  They restrict token length
     to 512 characters (I think).  I have seen this problem since 
     Sequent limits it to 2k characters and libXaw still chokes (Text.c)

Nope, not done.  We made one small re-arrangement to help the
MACII compiler, but that's the only one that's complained at
us so far about token length.
