- A long time ago, I with a friend wrote the first version of graphlib,
- we released it to the network, and it went out on the X11R5 contrib
- tape. On that tape in the readme, I said we would be working on a
- C++ version of the toolkit. The other original author left school,
- but I continued to work on the project.
- I have now gotten all of the clients in the new version working as
- well as the clients in the previous version so I am willing to make a
- more public release.
- I am considering this to be a beta release because I have not finished
- very much of the documentation, and I have not checked on the
- portability very much.
-
- The most current copy of the library is available from
- azathoth.sura.net:pub/x11r5/graphlib-*
-
- I will be working on completing the documentation, but do not know
- when that task will be complete.
- If you retrieve the package, could you send me mail? I am interested
- to find out how many people get the program. Also, if you have any
- problems compiling the package, please send me mail detailing what
- changes you had to make. I'd like to make it as portable as possible.
-
- If you have any questions about the toolkit, please ask me.
-
- Excerpted from the README:
- --
- Graphlib is a graphics library designed to make X programming easy.
- I have not yet achived this goal because the library is pretty incomplete,
- however when attempting to do those things which the library does currently
- support, it is easy to write programs.
- --
- Currently supported system types:
- The program is known to compile under gcc 2.3.2 on the sun4.
- It works with libg++2 under gcc2.3.2
- --
- It may still work with gcc1.xx and libg++1.xx, I don't know. I
- haven't tried it with them in a long time. I also haven't ever tried
- compiling with cfront.
