6 motifshell V0.9
7 -------------
8
9 This directory contains the sources for motifshell. motifshell
10 is a demo of an environment created using motif. The purpose
11 of the demo is to show how motif may be used as an stand-alone
12 environment for dispatching other programs and utilities.
13
14 Motifshell is written in C code only. There are no UIL references.
15 The makefile in the current directory should be all you need to
16 compile the program.

18 Bugs:
19
20 1) When you do a directory listing or a ps, you will notice this
21 takes some time. I use a system () call and pipe the output
22 to a file, and then read the file...I know, not real cool
23 but given the time constraints...hey, it works.
24
25 2) There may be 'unaligned data access' errors on startup.
26
27 3) The attempts to execute some other X and unix commands fail
28 because the executables can't be found. This should be easy
29 to fix, just haven't looked into it.

31 Please let me know of any bugs or misfeatures you find. If you
32 fix or modify the code, please send the source so I can incorporate
33 it into future releases.

35 If you notice any other bugs in this demo, please see the bug list in
36 the Release Notes to see if the problem is a known Toolkit defect.
