33The X11R4 README file:

35This program was originally written by Paul Vixie as "a gross hack
36intended to show off toolkit programming."  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.

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.
