3README for Motif Shell - A shell environment using motif
4

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.
30
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.
34
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.
