1. _I_n_t_r_o_d_u_c_t_i_o_n
ViewKit 2.1.1 is a C++ class library that enables
programmers to develop Motif user interfaces more
efficiently and more effectively. The ViewKit classes
encapsulate common interface items as higher level
components for easy access and modification.
Some of the major pieces of ViewKit are the base classes
(VkApp and VkSimpleWindow) for constructing an application
and its views, a set of dialog manager classes, and a set of
classes that support menu construction. ViewKit product
also includes an extensive set of example programs.

1.2 _H_a_r_d_w_a_r_e__R_e_q_u_i_r_e_m_e_n_t_s
ViewKit development imposes no hardware requirements beyond
those needed for any C++ development.
You should have at least 16 Mbytes of RAM to run any Motif
application, and the same applies to ViewKit-based
applications.
1.3 _O_n_-_L_i_n_e__R_e_l_e_a_s_e__N_o_t_e_s
After you install the on-line documentation for a product
(the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s subsystem), you can view the release notes on
your screen.
If you have a graphics system, select ``Release Notes'' from
the Help submenu of the Toolchest. This displays the
_g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) graphical browser for the on-line release
notes.

Refer to the _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for information on
options to this command.
If you do not have a graphics system, you can use the
_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s command. Refer to the _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(1) man page for
accessing the on-line release notes.
1.4 _O_n_-_l_i_n_e__p_r_o_g_r_a_m_m_e_r_'_s__m_a_n_u_a_l__p_a_g_e_s
To access an on-line programmer's manual page, type:
mmmmaaaannnn <<<<mmmmaaaannnn ppppaaaaggggeeee nnnnaaaammmmeeee>>>>
On-line manual pages for ViewKit are installed in
/_u_s_r/_s_h_a_r_e/_c_a_t_m_a_n/_p__m_a_n/_c_a_t_3/_V_k. In general, each class and
each global function that is available for an application is
described in some manual page - usually one of the same
name.
(Note that the header files also declare classes and
functions that are only intended for ViewKit internal use.
For example, VkDataTransfer is not for application use, and
may change without warning at any time.)
