This directory is a quick VMS port of rdesktop v1.2.0 .

 The homepage of rdesktop is at www.rdesktop.org.

 To build rdesktop for VMS:
  Extract the original distribution of rdesktop 1.2.0
  Place the modified files from VMS_SOURCE.ZIP in directory [.rdesktop-1_2_0]:
     VMS_RDESKTOP.C,VMS_RDESKTOP.H,VMS_XWIN.C,VMS_GETPASS.C,VMS_IMUTIL.C, and the 
  DCL command-files to compile and link.

  Eventually change the locations of ssl libraries in vms_compile.com,vms_descrip.mms,vms_build.com.

  Execute @vms_build.com .

  Copy rdesktop.exe into DCL$PATH:, or define a foreign command to point to rdesktop.exe.
  Eventually copy the [.keymaps] directory to /etc/keymaps/ (depending on how it is defined
  on Your site (sys$posix_root:[etc.keymaps] ?)).

  Starting on a Decwindows desktop:
      rdesktop -"K" win2kserver        ! using the X11 keyboard mapping
      rdesktop -"Kf" win2kserver       ! in full-screen size

 External libraries: 
   OpenVMS SSL SSL$LIBCRYPTO_SHR32.
   or change descrip.mms,vms_compile.com,vms_build.com, and rdesktop.opt 
   to use your openssl installation: ssllib:libcrypto.olb, sslroot:[include] .
   or change the above files to use the [.crypto] source in the rdesktop directory.

 For author, copyright info etc. please read the original copying and
 readme.txt .

 The executable RDESKTOP.EXE in VMS_BINARY.ZIP was built on VMS 7.3 , Compaq C V6.5,
 with Compaq SSL shared libraries from www.openvms.compaq.com .

 The main change to make rdesktop working on VMS is in xwin.c:
   The ui_select routine does a Unix-style select on the network-socket and the
   X11-connection. This doesn't work in VMS. So I changed it to select on the
   network-socket only. X11 events are handled via Decwindows asynchronous input handler .
   Added support for compose key on DEC keyboards (as described in COMPOSE_KEY.TXT) .

 In rdesktop.h,rdesktop.c: defined xfree() as free(). With the default compile , all external 
   names are uppercase  on VMS (compiling as_is would probably need more changes and fixes),
   and xfree will clash with Xfree.

 In rdesktop.c: replaced read_password by a call to getpass.
   added getpass.c: a VMS version of read_password, from an unknown comp.os.vms author

 Added IMutil (XInitImage) from Xfree86 4.0 distribution; I have DECWindows/Motif 1.2-6,
 is XInitImage also missing in 1.3 ?
