Dear InterNetters,

I'm happy to announce the release of XForms V0.61, a graphical user
interface toolkit based on Xlib for X Window Systems. XForms is a
portable, efficient and upgraded native X11/ANSI-C port of
Mark Overmars' FORMS library. It comes with a rich set of objects such
as buttons, browsers, sliders, and menus integrated into an elegant
event/object callback execution model that allows fast and easy
construction of X-applications. The library also defines an architecture
on which new classes of objects can be developed and thus extending
the library.

XForms comes bundled with

- Precompiled library and forms.h header for the following platforms:
SGI, SUN, HP, Convex, Dec-Alpha/OSF, DeCSystem/Ultrix, IBM/RS6000
and PC/Linux. Other platforms may be provided if requested;
- Source code for 45+ demonstration programs;
- Precompiled fdesign, an interactive GUI builder for XForms;
- ~200 pages of documentation.

Although XForms is not public domain, use of the package is free and
unrestricted for the development of non-commercial and free software.

FTP INSTRUCTIONS
The XForms package is available via anonymous ftp from
bloch.phys.uwm.edu (129.89.57.24), directory [pub/xform].
Remember to use binary transfer.

You will also need the gzip program to unpack the archive:
gzip -dc bxform.tgz | tar xof -

DISCLAIMER
XForms is provided to you 'as is' without any expressed or implied warranty,
or fitness for any particular purpose. In no event shall we be liable for
any damages resulting from the use or misuse of XForms.
