+
+Downloaded 1.22 variant (current Linux version) on 18-JAN-2000.
+
+Port stalled for a few days because OpenVMS X11 lacks XtGravity.
+
+X11KIT shared libraries almost work, but missing _XA_ symbols
+for some reason.
+
+Copied X11KIT [.xaw3d] and [.xmu] into [.lib], put together simplified
+build procedures. Made a few mods. Merged in some changes from
+Patrick Young. Now these build mostly ok except for tons of bcopy
+related warnings and problems with LAYOUT.C.
+
+Merged changes from Xterm021 into here.
+
+Made changes here and there to get it all to work.
+
+25-JAN-2000, more or less done. Logging doesn't work but PRINT
+does, as does regular VT emulation, TEK emulation, 80 and 132 wide
+modes. The resource file needs work. Cleaned up a really nasty problem
+with infinite loops on copy/paste in button.c (see tt_pasting).
+
+To build this, if you have DECC, DW 1.2-5 and VMS 7.2-1 (the latter
+probably doesn't matter) do:
+
+$ @make
+
+in the top directory. Expect a bunch of I and W warnings, but nothing
+worse. Then define a foreign symbol for xterm for the resulting .exe.
+
+26-JAN-2000. Enabled logging. When this is turned on from the menu
+it creates a new file SYS$SCRATCH:XTERM_LOG.TXT and writes everything that
+goes to the screen into it. This may slow down output a bit as each block
+of data read must be copied to disk. The log file has RMS format stream-lf
+and typically has a <CR> at the end of each line.
+
+27-JAN-2000. Discovered a bug when doing an X11 paste into an EDT session,
+had to add a tt_start_read() in button.c after the paste to reenable the
+read AST. Rearranged code in VMS.C to make the compiler happy and
+eliminate warnings.
