Athena Widget Set libXaw 1.0.7
dataCompression The AsciiSrc uses an algorithm that may cause the text buffer to growto
about twice the size of the actual text overtime, as the text is edited. On
systems where CPU cycles are cheaper than memory,itishelpful to
spend some extra time to compress this buffer back to its minimum size.
If this resource is True,the AsciiSrc will compress its data to the mini-
mum size required every time the text string is saved, or the value of the
string is queried. This is a resource of the associated source.

length If the useStringInPlace resource is False this attribute has no effect. If
that resource is True,howev e r, then the length resource specifies the
