re program argument geometry i have a question regarding the processing of program arguments such as the geometry option since this is a standard x option i m wondering wether i have to parse it manually or whether there is some predefined function that will do this for me if you are using the intrinsics it is parsed for you if you are working at the xlib level you can parse it yourself or you can use the following bit of code static xrmoptiondescrec options geometry geometry xrmoptionseparg xpointer null define number x sizeof x sizeof x xrmparsecommand db options number options myapplication argc argv then use xrmgetresource to retrieve the value and parse it using xparsegeometry it is probably quicker to parse it yourself from argv however i much prefer using the x resource management routines to do this patrick l mahan tgv window washer mahan tgv com waking a person unnecessarily should not be considered lazarus long a capital crime for a first offense that is from the notebooks of lazarus long
