It was fixed up (slightly) 37by Stephen Gildea and submitted to the X Consortium for inclusion in 38the X11R4 distribution. Paul doesn't want to have anything to do with 39it any more. I think it's useful, so I am currently maintaining it. 40 41Stephen Gildea 42gildea@bbn.com 4314 November 1989 44 45 46The original README file: 47 48Colordemo V1.0 49April 4, 1988 50Paul Vixie 51vix@ub.com 52 53This is a quick Xt11 program that reads rgb.txt and generates a label widget 54in each color found therein. It's slow, there are probably better ways to do 55what it does. It's also reasonably cute. 56 57Distribute freely except don't remove my name. Add your own copyrights as you 58please.
