+PDCurses for X11
+================
+
+This is a port of PDCurses for X11, aka XCurses.  It is designed to 
+allow existing curses programs to be re-compiled with PDCurses, 
+resulting in native X11 programs.
+
+
+Building
+--------
+
+. Run "./configure" in the top-level directory.
+
+  To build the wide-character version of the library, specify
+  "--enable-widec" as a parameter. To use X Input Methods, add
+  "--enable-xim". I recommend these options, but I haven't yet made
+  them the defaults, for the sake of backwards compatibility and due to
+  their new and relatively untested status.
+
+  If your system is lacking in UTF-8 support, you can force the use of
+  UTF-8 instead of the system locale via "--enable-force-utf8". This is
+  generally more useful in Windows.
+
+  If configure can't find your X include files or X libraries, you can
+  specify the paths with the arguments "--x-includes=inc_path" and/or
+  "--x-libraries=lib_path".
+
+  By default, the library and demo programs are built with the optimizer
+  switch -O2. You can turn this off, and turn on debugging (-g), by
+  adding "--with-debug" to the configure command.
+
+. Run "make". This should build libXCurses and all the demo programs.
+
+. Optionally, run "make install". curses.h and panel.h will be renamed
+  when installed (to xcurses.h and xpanel.h), to avoid conflicts with
+  any existing curses installations. Unrenamed copies of curses.h and
+  panel.h are installed in (by default) /usr/local/include/xcurses.
+
+  libXpanel is just a symlink to libXCurses. Both curses and panel
+  functions are in the main library.
+
+
+Distribution Status
+-------------------
+
+As of April 13, 2006, the files in this directory are released to the 
+Public Domain, except for ScrollBox*, which are under essentially the 
+MIT X License.
+
+
+To be Done
+----------
+
+- have newterm() create a new X window
+
+- provide a command line parsing function to enable X command line
+  arguments to be parsed and stripped from the arguments passed back
+  to the calling procedure.
