Here are some notes on compiling xkey which Bob Doolittle sent to me.

Ron,
	I just thought I'd make a couple of comments.  First off, the
standard Sun cc won't accept ANSI function prototyping (I used gcc
instead).  Secondly, I can't compile your program directly on a Sun 4,
because report is an XEvent union, not an XKeyEvent structure, so keycode
is not a valid field.  Perhaps your compiler lets you use fields from the
wrong structures; gcc doesn't.  To get this to compile, I changed
report.keycode to report.xkey.keycode and it built fine.
	Also, you forgot to mention linking with -lX11 on your suggested
build line (most people will catch this, but you never know :-).
	Anyway, thanks for posting the code.  It's easier to read its
output than the output from "xev", which includes all the window
enter/leave and key down/up events.

Thanks,
	Bob
