*****************************************************************
* *
* The Free Widget Foundation Widget Release *
* Version 3.0 *
* *
* May 19, 1992 *
* *
*****************************************************************
This is the Free Widget Foundation widget release. In case you
only have this Makefile, the current set of widgets can be obtained
via anonymous ftp from the machine a.cs.uiuc.edu (128.174.252.1)
in the file pub/fwf.shar.Z.
The release is also available via anonymous ftp from the site
ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de, and via email, by sending the
command 'GET /pub/X11/contrib/lib/fwf/fwf-2.14.tar.Z'
to the account: FTP-Mailer@ftp.informatik.tu-muenchen.de.
The Free Widget Foundation project was started summer 1990 in order
to collect existing widgets in a well-publicized location to prevent
duplication of effort. Numerous people have expressed interest
in submitting widgets to the collection. The collection process is
going slowly because of lack of time and organizational needs. The
"Free Widget Foundation" is a pun on the "Free Software Foundation"
title. While the two organizations share some similar goals, that is
the improvement of the quality and quantity of public software, this
organization is in no way related to the Free Software Foundation or
the GNU projects. In fact, we aren't even a "foundation" in the
legal meaning of the word. We are solely a group of volunteers
attempting to build up a working set of usable widgets in an efficient
manner.
The widgets contained in this distribution are only a small subset
of widgets which have been offered. Integration of the donated
widgets will begin when the compilation infrastructure has been
decided.
