I have had countless problems with the documentation and/or UIL and Motif itself. For example, I find our snapshot7 uil compiler won't grok LIST sections at all. If I put the include file 'XmAppl.uil' statement after the LIST, UIL barfs on the first occurence of the word "list"; and if I put the include statement before the LIST, it barfs on the first list_name (the word after "list"). I also find that the convenience dialog PromptDialog, described in the Motif docs, isn't listed in the UIL tables, and UIL doesn't know "prompt_dialog". We also do not see any of the referenced appendices of the UIL doc in our copy. I've already wasted several days trying to figure out what UIL actually does, as opposed to what the documentation claims that it does. If I don't get more accurate information about what UIL will do, I will have to drop UIL altogether. It's your money guys.
