 An Introduction to The Lamont X Toolkit

 The Lamont X toolkit (LXT) is a programming package intended to supply much
 of the functionality of SunView (a proprietary toolkit developed by
 Sun Microsystems, Inc., for use on Sun workstations only) to programmers who
 are developing software on an X11 platform.
 LXT provides walking menus, canvases, panels containing all of the major item
 types supported by SunView, and text subwindows. Blocking panels which freeze
 the display until the user provides critical feedback are also available.
 All canvases, panels and text subwindows are both vertically and horizontally
 scrollable.
 LXT is designed to allow the programmer to use its facilities on
 an as-needed basis rather than to wrest total control of the application from
 the caller. While LXT's data objects are relatively opaque, it is possible
 for the programmer to create other Xlib data objects and manage them at will.
 Event notification is completely under program control and defers to the LXT
 event processor only as directed.
 The entire LXT package was written directly on the Xlib library and does not
 require the support of any other toolkit. Although the development of LXT was
 done entirely on Sun workstations, it should be easily portable to any system
 WHICh provides a working X11 server and the MIT-distributed Xlib programming
 interface.
 LXT was originally released in early 1988 under the name 'XView', which was
 changed in late 1989 after Sun's release of a similar product with the same
 name.

 README -- 4/91
 Greetings and welcome to mixview.
 This program is currently designed to run under Sun OS 3.2, 3.4, and 4.0, and
 should be totally compatible with all BSD Unix machines. The lxt toolkit has
 separate makefiles for the various Sun OS releases -- consult the documentation
 in the toolkit release, as you may need to make minor changes to reflect your
 system.
 Once the toolkit and this source code are unpacked and un-tarred and after
 modifying the makefile in the top level, simply type 'make' at the top-level
 directory, and then 'make install'. If you are running X11 R3, add a "-DR3"
 option to the flags (as indicated in the Makefile).
 NOTE: You must use the newest release of LXT with this release of mixview.
 There are changes that are not compatible with the old toolkit.
 The only system-dependent portion of the editor is the code relating to
 D-to-A conversion of soundfiles. It is compatible with the driver designed and
 written by Brad Garton at Columbia University (brad@woof.columbia.edu) for use
 with the MTU DACs, and with D-A converters on NeXTs, and SPARC I workstations
 that have the optional SOUND package (library and include files) installed.
 The program will compile without errors, however, on any machine without
 changing the conversion code. I would be delighted to hear of other drivers
 capable of converting from memory so that I may add options for them in
 mixview.
 This editor is still in beta-test form; I am happy to field questions
 and accept comments, but I realize that there is much to be added. Additional
 patchfiles will be placed in ~ftp/pub as they are created.
