X11R4 Clients and Demos for VMS December 1992 Patrick L. Mahan TGV, Incorporated Santa Cruz, CA 95060 (408) 427-4366 Mahan@TGV.COM Mahan@DECUS.ORG Mahan@A1.DECUS.ORG Mahan@EISNER.DECUS.ORG Introduction This is a release of the X11R4 clients and demos for VMS. It requires VMS 5.4 or above and DECwindows/Motif 1.0 or above. This release super- cedes My release of X11R4 clients for VMS submitted earlier this year. This release contains a wide variety of software applications based on both Xlib and Xt (Intrinsics). This release also contains the X11R4 Athena Widget Library (Xaw) and the X Miscellaneous Library (Xmu) that is used for most of the Xt based applications in this release. Disclaimer The software is distributed on an as is basis, there is no implied or specific guarantee provided by either the author, TGV, Incorporated, or MIT. Use it at your own risk. I will however provide limited support to the extent that it doesn't interfere with my duties at TGV. New Stuff The basic reason for a re-release of this software is the new run-time libraries for XVMSUTILS, XMU and XAW. Now before you go and point out that DEC is providing the XMU stuff with Motif 1.1 let me say, just try mine. I have notice that some of the XMU routines do not properly work and have decide to keep proving my own. Also, included with this release is a "bug" fix for the missing CADDR_T definition for VAX C 3.2. Thanks to all who took the time to report it and sorry for the inconvience. (Aside to Digital: next time, please CHECK your .h files before shipping). Also, the modules, make files and options files are setup to allow me to merge the AXP version of this code in at a later date. Contents Below is a listing of the applications provided with this release along with a brief description. Most of these applications are accompanied by Unix Man files that have been converted to Ascii text files suitable for printing. Otherwise, consider this file your sole source of help besides the actual sources. (Ps. I wouldn't mind if someone would try to tackle the enormous job of creating one large help library for all this stuff). X11 Clients Appres List Application Resources database for a given application.
