I did that once... Designed this complicated digital circuit with clocks and counters and timers to measure pulse widths, and Basil takes one look at it, nods politely and tells me "that could work" -- and takes 5 seconds to scribble an equivalent analog circuit. It had one transistor -- just one -- and maybe 5 components total. I still don't entirely understand how it worked but it was important that it be a PNP transistor, the circuit had no NPN equivalent...

The Arduino is causing something of a renaissance for electronics, yet it's hard to shake the feeling something's been lost when nobody uses anything but the brute-force approach.

XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected(library call)							     XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected(library call)

NAME

       XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected -- A List function that replaces items in a list without selecting the replacement items

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/List.h>
       void XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected(
       Widget widget,
       XmString *new_items,
       int item_count,
       int position);

DESCRIPTION

       XmListReplaceItemsPosUnselected	replaces  the  specified  number  of items in the list with new items, starting at the given position. The
       replacement items remain unselected, even if they currently appear in the XmNselectedItems list.

       widget	 Specifies the ID of the List widget to replace items in.

       new_items Specifies a pointer to the replacement items.

       item_count
		 Specifies the number of elements in new_items and the number of items in the list to replace.	This number must be nonnegative.

       position  Specifies the position of the first item in the list to be replaced. A value of 1 indicates that the first item replaced  is  the
		 first item in the list; a value of 2 indicates that it is the second item; and so on.

		 Beginning  with  the  item  specified in position, item_count items in the list are replaced with the corresponding elements from
		 new_items. That is, the item at position is replaced with the first element of new_items; the item  after  position  is  replaced
		 with the second element of new_items; and so on, until item_count is reached.

       For a complete definition of List and its associated resources, see XmList(3).
