PUBLICLY AVAILABLE SOFTWARE
Please note before you install the freebies: Pencom will be
providing these programs precompiled on our anonymous ftp server,
ftp.pencom.com, in the /pub/co-Xist directory. If you want
everything, or don't have Internet access, go ahead and install
the freebies from the CD-ROM, but of you just want a few select
clients, go ahead and download.
All software in this package is available over the Internet somewhere
in some form or fashion. Pencom provides these solely as a FREE
SERVICE to co-Xist customers, and is no way responsible for any of
the software in this package.
We didn't write it. We don't support it. We don't even declare
that it all compiles. Almost everything in this package has been
used by someone at Pencom, and if nobody cared for it or saw a use
for it, it wouldn't be here. The exceptions are a couple of things
we can't remember if anyone liked, but we threw them in since there
wasn't time to test. You don't need any of these to use co-Xist,
or do business with Pencom. They're here just to (hopefully) make
your life a little easier.
Nevertheless, it is UP TO YOU to determine which, if any, of these
programs is of any use to you, and if so, what use that might be.
Pencom makes no guarantees as to the usefulness, safety, or anything
else, regarding these programs. If you have security/virus/etc.
concerns, feel free to peruse the source. Of course, building from
source requires you to purchase the development packages.
Some of these are not the latest versions. That's because we
haven't needed the latest versions, or we haven't had time to get
them and port them. If you need something newer, you'll have to
check around the net. Sorry.
If you have ported an X client to NEXTSTEP you think others would
be interested in using, send email to co-Xist_info@pencom.com and
we'll see about including it next time.
Many X clients are provided in both source and binary forms. All
copyrights, license notices, etc. are included with the source.
Please read them and pay attention to them.
We have attempted to compile most of the source and have left the
resulting binary in the source tree. We have removed all of the
intermediate ".o" files.
There are also a few non-X programs that come in very handy for
use with X, a few odd (we mean it) fonts, and a couple of docs that
may prove useful.
Additionally, there are some extra resource files here you may wish
to use with your standard clients. To use them, either replace
the standard system-wide files (in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults) or
in your home directory. If you don't want lots of resource files
cluttering your home directory, you might create a directory for
them ($HOME/app-defaults) and add this to your resource variable
(XAPPLRESDIR or XUSERFILESEARCHPATH) as in the following examples:
(csh)
setenv XAPPLRESDIR $HOME/app-defaults/
setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH $HOME/app-defaults:%D
(sh or ksh)
XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/app-defaults/ ; export XAPPLRESDIR
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH=$HOME/app-defaults:%D ; export XUSERFILESEARCHPATH
XAPPLRESDIR is less flexible, but will work for most cases. Note that
the trailing slash in the example is required for XAPPLRESDIR.
PACKAGING & INSTALLING
We are providing the binaries and supporting files as a tar.Z
archive and as a normal directory tree. If you wish to pick a few
programs and install them, you can do so by copying the binary from
the appropriate source directory into /usr/bin/X11. You should
also check for resource files in the source directories, which
should be copied into /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults. There may also
be support files in Freebies/usr/lib/X11 which should be copied
into /usr/lib/X11.
