Selection Compatibility Attributes
This appendix lists all the selection compatibility attributes in alphabetical order. Appendix
B, Selection Compatibility Procedures and Macros, lists the selection compatibility proce-
dures. XView Version 3 supports a newer selection mechanism that implements selections
using the SELECTION package. The selection mechanism that was available in older versions
of XView is supported in XView Version 3; its attributes are shown in this appendix and the
mechanism is described in Appendix A, The Selection Service, in the XView Programming
Manual. All of these compatibility attributes use the SELN_-prefix. These attributes do not
work with the XView SELECTION package.
Each selection attribute’s description is in the format below.
