3Downloaded 1.22 variant (current Linux version) on 18-JAN-2000.

5Port stalled for a few days because OpenVMS X11 lacks XtGravity.
6
7X11KIT shared libraries almost work, but missing _XA_ symbols
8for some reason. 
9
10Copied X11KIT [.xaw3d] and [.xmu] into [.lib], put together simplified
11build procedures.  Made a few mods.  Merged in some changes from
12Patrick Young.  Now these build mostly ok except for tons of bcopy
13related warnings and problems with LAYOUT.C.
14
15Merged changes from Xterm021 into here.
16
17Made changes here and there to get it all to work.
18
1925-JAN-2000, more or less done.  Logging doesn't work but PRINT
20does, as does regular VT emulation, TEK emulation, 80 and 132 wide
21modes.  The resource file needs work.  Cleaned up a really nasty problem
22with infinite loops on copy/paste in button.c (see tt_pasting).
23
24To build this, if you have DECC, DW 1.2-5 and VMS 7.2-1 (the latter
25probably doesn't matter) do:
26
27$ @make
28
29in the top directory.  Expect a bunch of I and W warnings, but nothing
30worse.  Then define a foreign symbol for xterm for the resulting .exe.
31
3226-JAN-2000.  Enabled logging.  When this is turned on from the menu
33it creates a new file SYS$SCRATCH:XTERM_LOG.TXT and writes everything that
34goes to the screen into it.  This may slow down output a bit as each block
35of data read must be copied to disk.  The log file has RMS format stream-lf
36and typically has a <CR> at the end of each line.
37
3827-JAN-2000.  Discovered a bug when doing an X11 paste into an EDT session,
39had to add a tt_start_read() in button.c after the paste to reenable the
40read AST.  Rearranged code in VMS.C to make the compiler happy and
41eliminate warnings.
