Version: 1.3

Overview:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This kit essentially contains the sources of

 o Kaleb S. Keithley's Xaw3D widget set.
   This widget set is intended to improve the visual appearance
   of the common X Athena Widgets.
   In general it may be used as a replacement for the Xaw widget set.
 o the X Miscellaneous Utilities (Xmu).
 o GV.
   GV allows to view postscript files on an X display. It is based on
   ghostview 1.5.

Xaw3D:
------

Apart from changes introduced to provide the functionality 
of a Xaw compatible widget set on OpenVMS,
the Xaw3D widget set contained in this kit includes 
 o a modified version of Keith Packard's Layout widget.
 o a different Scrollbar widget, added to complete the 3D appeareance
   of the simple widgets.
 o a modifed version of the Paned widget.
   The modifications are minimal and are restricted to details of its
   visual appearance.
The original versions of all modified widgets listed above are
included. With the exception of the Layout widget this code
is in a functional state and may be used in case problems
arise with the modified versions.
The Xaw3D library will be build as shareable image.

Xmu:
----

The X Miscellaneous Utilities are included
to make this kit self-contained and to implement all resource
converters needed by the Xaw3D clients.
The Xmu library will be build as shareable image.

GV:
---

GV is derived from Timothy Theisen's ghostview 1.5
and allows to view postscript files.
It requires ghostscript, version 2.52 or higher.
ghostscript as well as the original ghostview 1.5
may be obtained from
   site:   ftp.cs.wisc.edu
   dir:    pub/ghost
Please see the accompanying documentation for further information
