we have developed a series of utility routines to display and analyze
atomic spectroscopy and lifetime data from our Low Energy Heavy Ion
Accelerator... the macros work fine when called from the CINT command
line via the .x command... they do NOT work fine when the .x command is
assigned to a Control Bar Button and input from the keyboard is
requested by the macro... input from a scanf command in the macro gets
garbled in a fashion which is different in WinNT from what it is in
Win95: in NT, the first character input gets stripped off and goes into
a buffer, where CINT finds it after the macro has finished; in Win95,
characters are intermittently and irreproducibly echoed to the keyboard-
with the extraneous characters going into a buffer, where they appear
after the macro has executed
it would make the users' lives much simpler if the macros could be
invoked from buttons rather than from the command line, and any
suggestions you have would be most welcome... many thanks
