62        Every form field has a field that can  be  used  to  hold  application-
63        specific  data  (that is, the form-driver code leaves it alone).  These
64        functions get and set that field.

68        The function <STRONG>field_userptr</STRONG> returns a pointer (which may be  <STRONG>NULL</STRONG>).   It
69        does not set <STRONG>errno</STRONG>.
70
71        The function <STRONG>set_field_userptr</STRONG> returns <STRONG>E_OK</STRONG> (success).

80        These routines emulate the System  V  forms  library.   They  were  not
81        supported on Version 7 or BSD versions.
82
83        The user pointer is a void pointer.  We chose not to leave it as a char
84        pointer for SVr4 compatibility.
