Due to some configuration management mistakes (I forgot to
check some code in...) the 1.4 release included some bugs.
I also took some advice from gcc -Wall and cleaned up the
code a little bit.
So, I just uploaded:
export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/XcRichText-1.5.tar.Z
export.lcs.mit.edu:/contrib/XcRichText-diffs-1.4-1.5
Thank you for your support.
Release 1.4 of the XcRichText distribution is now available
on export.lcs.mit.edu in the contrib directory.

New Features:
* new font selection mechanism that handles font sizes and
requires no user/application developer intervention
* topPosition and bottomPosition resources to limit the view
to a certain range
Fixes:
* copyrights have been more clearly stated
* super/subscripts without ascenders/descenders are handled better
README for XcRichText distribution
The XcRichText fills the need for a formatted text display widget in the
Motif toolkit. It interprets RTF data and formats and displays it using
X fonts, colors, lines, and pixmaps.
REQUIREMENTS
In order to build applications using the XcRichText widget, you will
need:
* an ANSI C compiler
* a C++ compiler that implements version 2.1 of the language
* the OSF/Motif toolkit
INSTALLATION
This distribution uses the Imake system for portable software. Sites
with X11 and imake installed can simply uncompress and untar the
distribution, make the makefiles, and make the distribution:
% zcat XcRichText-1.*.tar.Z | tar xvf -
% xmkmf
% make Makefiles
% make depend
% make
% cd test
% make test # this should display some rich text in the widget
Some sites may need to edit the Xc.tmpl to specify an ANSI compiler
and a C++ compiler.
TODO
* support \brdrt, \brdrb
* support \mac,\pc charsets
* support tables fully
* support Mac bitmap formats
* support NeXT bitmap formats?
