Hello, thank you for this tip !
I first tried to use FLTK 1.3 for the new editor, however, I got crashes in both Sol 10 and XP with the original editor.cxx file shipped. FLTK 1.1.10 worked better, at least on Windows and Linux, but Solaris still restarts CDE when I try to enter text into the editor, and I have to login to CDE again by entering login and password. I will try to use the compiler switches you mentioned on the Solaris edition this weekend, and will also try to upgrade from g++ 3.4.6 to 4.4.x.
