+X11 Considerations
+==================
+
+PDCurses for X11 uses the System V IPC shared memory facility, along
+with sockets, to share data between the curses program and the child
+process created to manage the X stuff.
+
+When compiling your application, you need to include the <curses.h> or
+<xcurses.h> that comes with PDCurses. You also need to link your code
+with libXCurses. You may need to link with the following libraries under
+X11R5:
+ Xaw Xmu Xt X11
+
+or, under X11R6:
+ Xaw Xmu Xt X11 SM ICE Xext
+
+You can run "xcurses-config --libs" to show the link parameters for your
+system. If using dynamic linking, on some systems, "-lXCurses" suffices.
+
+By calling Xinitscr() rather than initscr(), you can pass your program
+name and resource overrides to PDCurses. The program name is used as the
+title of the X window, and for defining X resources specific to your
+program.
+
+
+Interaction with stdio
+----------------------
+
+Be aware that curses programs that expect to have a normal tty
+underneath them will be very disappointed! Output directed to stdout
+will go to the xterm that invoked the PDCurses application, or to the
+console if not invoked directly from an xterm. Similarly, stdin will
+expect its input from the same place as stdout.
+
+
+X Resources
+-----------
+
+PDCurses for X11 recognizes the following resources:
+
+ lines
+ cols
+ normalFont
+ italicFont
+ pointer
+ pointerForeColor
+ pointerBackColor
+ cursorColor
+ textCursor
+ colorBlack
+ colorRed
+ colorGreen
+ colorYellow
+ colorBlue
+ colorMagenta
+ colorCyan
+ colorWhite
+ colorBoldBlack
+ colorBoldRed
+ colorBoldGreen
+ colorBoldYellow
+ colorBoldBlue
+ colorBoldMagenta
+ colorBoldCyan
+ colorBoldWhite
+ bitmap
+ pixmap
+ translations
+ shmmin
+ borderWidth
+ borderColor
+ clickPeriod
+ doubleClickPeriod
+ composeKey
+
+lines: Specifies the number of lines the "screen" will have.
+ Directly equates to LINES.
+ There is no theoretical maximum.
+ The minimum value must be 2.
+ Default: 24
+
+cols: Specifies the number of columns the "screen" will have.
+ Directly equates to COLS.
+ There is no theoretical maximum.
+ The minimum value must be 2.
+ Default: 80
+
+normalFont: The name of a fixed width font.
+ Default: 7x13
+
+italicFont: The name of a fixed width font to be used for
+ characters with A_ITALIC attributes. Must have the
+ same cell size as normalFont.
+ Default: 7x13 (obviously not an italic font)
+
+pointer: The name of a valid pointer cursor.
+ Default: xterm
+
+pointerForeColor: The foreground color of the pointer.
+ Default: black
+
+pointerBackColor: The background color of the pointer.
+ Default: white
+
+textCursor: The alignment of the text cursor; horizontal or vertical.
+ Default: horizontal
+
+colorBlack: The color of the COLOR_BLACK attribute.
+ Default: Black
+
+colorRed: The color of the COLOR_RED attribute.
+ Default: red3
+
+colorGreen: The color of the COLOR_GREEN attribute.
+ Default: green3
+
+colorYellow: The color of the COLOR_YELLOW attribute.
+ Default: yellow3
+
+colorBlue: The color of the COLOR_BLUE attribute.
+ Default: blue3
+
+colorMagenta: The color of the COLOR_MAGENTA attribute.
+ Default: magenta3
+
+colorCyan: The color of the COLOR_CYAN attribute.
+ Default: cyan3
+
+colorWhite: The color of the COLOR_WHITE attribute.
+ Default: Grey
+
+colorBoldBlack: COLOR_BLACK combined with A_BOLD.
+ Default: grey40
+
+colorBoldRed: COLOR_RED combined with A_BOLD.
+ Default: red1
+
+colorBoldGreen: COLOR_GREEN combined with A_BOLD.
+ Default: green1
+
+colorBoldYellow: COLOR_YELLOW combined with A_BOLD.
+ Default: yellow1
+
+colorBoldBlue: COLOR_BLUE combined with A_BOLD.
+ Default: blue1
+
+colorBoldMagenta: COLOR_MAGENTA combined with A_BOLD.
+ Default: magenta1
+
+colorBoldCyan: COLOR_CYAN combined with A_BOLD.
+ Default: cyan1
+
+colorBoldWhite: COLOR_WHITE combined with A_BOLD.
+ Default: White
+
+bitmap: The name of a valid bitmap file of depth 1 (black and white)
+ used for the application's icon. The file is an X bitmap.
+ Default: a 32x32 or 64x64 pixmap depending on the
+ window manager
+
+pixmap: The name of a valid pixmap file of any depth
+ supported by the window manager (color) for the
+ application's icon, The file is an X11 pixmap. This
+ resource is only available if the libXpm package has
+ been installed (most systems have this by default).
+ This resource overrides the "bitmap" resource.
+ Default: none, uses default bitmap above
+
+translations: Translations enable the user to customize the action
+ that occurs when a key, combination of keys, or a
+ button is pressed. The translations are similar to
+ those used by xterm.
+ Defaults:
+ <Key>: XCursesKeyPress()
+ <KeyUp>: XCursesKeyPress()
+ <BtnDown>: XCursesButton()
+ <BtnUp>: XCursesButton()
+ <BtnMotion>: XCursesButton()
+
+ The most useful action for KeyPress translations is
+ string(). The argument to the string() action can be
+ either a string or a hex representation of a
+ character; e.g., string(0x1b) will send the ASCII
+ escape character to the application; string("[11~")
+ will send [ 1 1 ~ , as separate keystrokes.
+
+shmmin: On most systems, there are two Unix kernel parameters
+ that determine the allowable size of a shared memory
+ segment. These parameters are usually something like
+ SHMMIN and SHMMAX. To use shared memory, a program
+ must allocate a segment of shared memory that is
+ between these two values. Usually these values are
+ like 1 for SHMMIN and some large number for SHMMAX.
+ Sometimes the Unix kernel is configured to have a
+ value of SHMMIN that is bigger than the size of one
+ of the shared memory segments that libXCurses uses.
+ On these systems an error message like:
+
+ Cannot allocate shared memory for SCREEN: Invalid argument
+
+ will result. To overcome this problem, this resource
+ should be set to the kernel value for SHMMIN. This
+ ensures that a shared memory segment will always be
+ bigger than the kernel value for SHMMIN (and
+ hopefully less than SHMMAX!)
+
+ Default: 0
+
+borderColor: The color of the border around the screen.
+ Default: black
+
+borderWidth: The width in pixels of the border around the screen.
+ Default: 0
+
+clickPeriod: The period (in milliseconds) between a button
+ press and a button release that determines if a click
+ of a button has occurred.
+ Default: 100
+
+doubleClickPeriod: The period (in milliseconds) between two button
+ press events that determines if a double click
+ of a button has occurred.
+ Default: 200
+
+composeKey: The name of the X key that defines the "compose key",
+ which is used to enter characters in the Latin-1
+ character set above 0xA0. (See "Compose Keys for
+ Latin-1" below.) This is used only when PDCurses is
+ built without XIM support. While in compose mode, the
+ text cursor will appear as a hollow rectangle.
+ Default: Multi_key
+
+
+Using Resources
+---------------
+
+All applications have a top-level class name of "XCurses". If Xinitscr()
+is used, it sets an application's top-level widget name. (Otherwise the
+name defaults to "PDCurses".)
+
+Examples for app-defaults or .Xdefaults:
+
+!
+! resources for XCurses class of programs
+!
+XCurses*lines: 30
+XCurses*cols: 80
+XCurses*normalFont: 9x13
+XCurses*bitmap: /tmp/xcurses.xbm
+XCurses*pointer: top_left_arrow
+!
+! resources for testcurs - XCurses
+!
+testcurs.colorRed: orange
+testcurs.colorBlack: midnightblue
+testcurs.lines: 25
+*testcurs.Translations: #override \n \
+ <Key>F12: string(0x1b) string("[11~") \n
+!
+! resources for THE - XCurses
+!
+! resources with the * wildcard can be overridden by a parameter passed
+! to initscr()
+!
+the*normalFont: 9x15
+the*lines: 40
+the*cols: 86
+the*pointer: xterm
+the*pointerForeColor: white
+the*pointerBackColor: black
+!
+! resources with the . format can not be overridden by a parameter passed
+! to Xinitscr()
+!
+the.bitmap: /home/mark/the/the64.xbm
+the.pixmap: /home/mark/the/the64.xpm
+
+Resources may also be passed as parameters to the Xinitscr() function.
+Parameters are strings in the form of switches; e.g., to set the color
+"red" to "indianred", and the number of lines to 30, the string passed
+to Xinitscr would be: "-colorRed indianred -lines 30"
+
+
+Compose Keys for Latin-1
+------------------------
+
+When built without XIM support, PDCurses for X11 provides its own,
+limited compose key system for Latin-1 characters. The available
+combinations are listed here. For a given character, any of the
+combinations shown in the last column may be used. To generate a
+character, press the "compose" key followed by one of the pairs of
+keystrokes. Where no key is evident, the spacebar is used. Thus, to
+generate the NO-BREAK SPACE, press the "compose" key followed by two
+hits of the spacebar.
+
+With a typical modern X server, you can get many more compose key
+combinations by using XIM instead. Configure PDCurses with --enable-xim
+to use XIM support.
+

+
+XCursesProgramName is no longer used. To set the program name, you must
+use Xinitscr(), or PDC_set_title() to set just the window title.
+
+The XCursesExit() function is now called automatically via atexit().
+(Multiple calls to it are OK, so you don't need to remove it if you've
+already added it for previous versions of PDCurses.)
+
+XCURSES is no longer defined automatically, but need not be defined,
+unless you want the X11-specific prototypes. (Normal curses programs
+won't need it.)
