Quick and dirty README - XFilemanager Version 0.1
=================================================


This is only a test version!!!

On what kind of system xfilemanager runs:
=========================================
This program should run on hpux and linux.
Other machines cannot be supported by me, but it should compile and
run anyway.
(Former versions did run on: HpUx, Linux, SunOS, Ultrix, AIX,
                             386BSD, Coherent, ISC, SGI-Unix,
                             and probably some more)

INSTALLATION:
=============
1) Edit the config.h and Imakefile to set the defaults for your machine
   Use the system.xfmrc, system.xfmmenurc and system.wsrc as defaultfiles
   or examples.

2) type xmkmf to generate the Makefile

3) type make

4) type make install

5) cd DOC; latex xfilemanager.tex - And READ (especially if you
   want to customize xfilemanager for your purposes) the doc.

Have fun with it and report bugs!

Trouble Shooting:
=================
Some people reported about a bug on Sun OS-machines. They got an errormessage
that sounds like:
Error: Widget vertical has zero width and/or height.
Allthough I don't know what exactly causes this trouble, we found an solution
that works.
Add the following two lines to you app-defaults file:
*vertical.width: 14
*vertical.height: 14
or the next to to you .Xdefaults:
xfilemanager*vertical{width|height}: 14
xfilemanager*horizontal{width|height}: 14
Special thanks for helping me with this problem are adressed to 
exukenc@exu.ericsson.se (Ken Corey) 
Do it with horizontal bug in the same way.

If you have problems with imake or your system doesn't have this nice tool,
you can use the makefile.simple instead.

Bugs:
=====
Very dirty source code, but will be optimized as soon as possible
Some usefull functions are missing, but will be implemented in the
next few days (goto-function, change-root, etc.)
