    Y Window is attempt to create portable, network transparent,
    text-mode windowing envioroment.
    
Motto:
Do not simplify the design of a program if a way can be found to make
it complex and wonderful :^)

For general info see docbook at doc/, although command section
is slightly outdated.

You may also want to visit Y Window Project homepage at
http://aleph-0.dhs.org/ywindow/ or alternativly, at mirror
http://ywindow.pld.org.pl. You can also join our mailing list,
instructions are on webpage. Mailing list archives are at 
http://lists.pld.org.pl.

Y Window is currently maintained by Michal Moskal <malekith@pld.org.pl>,
please refer to AUTHORS file for more info.

Build instructions:

(for .tar.gz)
./configure
make

or, for CVS checkout

./autogen.sh
make

This should do. Then you need to start server process (server/ywserver
executable, it doesn't go into background yet, it also displays lots of
debugging information), in some other terminal (console, screen window,
xterminal etc), you need to start display, only one display is included
right now: curses-based one, it's in clients/ywcurses. After you did it,
you can try (from third terminal) other programs from clients/. yterm
is let's say, half-working :^) Results of work of regular clients (opposite
to ywcli) are shown in display, so don't get confussed when after
./yterm you see nothing -- switch to the second terminal.

You can also try Window Manager. You run it after ywcurses, but before
ywterm/hello etc. F12 cycles windows. F10 kills connection to program
owning current window (it will simply close window in future).
F11 starts move mode for window. Use arrows to move it.
