linuxes suse10 fedora5 fedora7 and Centos4
with XWindows.

that simple editor source code worked for several years of
linux+XWindows.
then a trajic error occurred trying to run
fedora core 10 Linux.
***ERROR*** keycodes for special keys including arrow keys and home
and end HAVE CHANGED
so traditional edelev10.c text editor program
DOES NOT WORK
on Fedora Core 10 Linux.
Why have the special keycodes changed on Fedora Core ten Xwindows ??
(Different from Fedora Core 7 for example.)
a)A mistake was made copying keycodes for the next Linux XWindows.
b)Fedora Core Ten was developed from scratch independently of earlier
XWindows.
c)A deliberate change was made MUST STATE WHY _______________ ?
--------
Why are fedora Core Ten XWindows raw keycodes DiffereNT from previous
XWindows special keys keycodes??
...
Eventually, another text editor was developed to run on 32-bit Fedora
Core
ten XWindows called edelev16.c
