<blockquote>
<address> from the XcRichText README, 92/09/09 17:13:35</address>
<p> 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.

<h2>Status as of Sep 1995</h2>
<p>Apparently, Philippe-Andre Prindeville <tt>philipp@res.enst.fr</tt>
has released some enhancements. See: <a
href="ftp://ftp.res.enst.fr/incoming/philipp">Philippe's XcRichText
release directory</a>.
<h2>Status as of Jan 1995</h2>
<p> <strong>NOTE:</strong> It has been some time since I worked with
this code. I had several reports of folks who successfully used this
software, and there are no known defects, but I won't make any
guarantees either!</p>
<p> My most active beta tester was Philippe-Andre Prindeville
<tt><philipp@res.enst.fr></tt>. He was using it to display
some sort of international dictionary. When I last contacted him,
he was doing some optimizations on fonts and scrolling. I think
he released a patch.
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<p>In order to build applications using the XcRichText widget, you will
need:
<ul>
<li> an ANSI C compiler
<li> a C++ compiler that implements version 2.1 of the language
<li> the OSF/Motif toolkit
</ul>

list of copies of the distribution</a> from the Archie database
via the <a href="http://web.nexor.co.uk/archie.html">ArchiePlex
service</a>.
<p> To verify the distribution: it is 127957 bytes; the checksum (as
per the SunOS sum command) is <code>33571 125</code>, and
I have signed it with a pgp 2.6 digital signature:

<p> You'll need <a href="../connolly-pgp-key.html">my key</a> to check
the signature of course.
