- For IRIX 6.2, the following comment is in VkSimpleWindow.h:
-
- //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
- // NOTE: Quick Help is new in the IRIX 6.2 release. There are two forms of
- // access:
- // * Resource-based access is documented in the man page and
- // is fully supported. Go ahead and set your resources. For
- // most programs, this is all the access they will ever need.
- //
- // * The programmatic access to Quick Help is still experimental.
- // in IRIX 6.2.
- //
- // IT MAY CHANGE IN THE NEXT RELEASE.
- //
- // That is why it is not documented in the man pages. For
- // an example of current use, see the QuickHelp demo program.

- The safe way to provide quick help for a program in Irix 6.2 is to simply
- set the resources (see VkSimpleWindow(3)). That will continue to be
- supported.
-
- Programmatic access is intended only for those programs that need much
- more control than plain resources allow. Few programs need it. It is
- still evolving as we find needs.
-
- This demo program shows programmatic access as it is today. Feel free to
- use it, and to give us suggestions about it. Just remember that it is
- still experimental -- it may change without warning in a future release.
