/* $XConsortium: README /main/3 1996/07/15 14:11:47 drk $ */ README for Motif Shell - A shell environment using motif motifshell V0.9 ------------- This directory contains the sources for motifshell. motifshell is a demo of an environment created using motif. The purpose of the demo is to show how motif may be used as an stand-alone environment for dispatching other programs and utilities. Motifshell is written in C code only. There are no UIL references. The makefile in the current directory should be all you need to compile the program. Bugs: 1) When you do a directory listing or a ps, you will notice this takes some time. I use a system () call and pipe the output to a file, and then read the file...I know, not real cool but given the time constraints...hey, it works. 2) There may be 'unaligned data access' errors on startup. 3) The attempts to execute some other X and unix commands fail because the executables can't be found. This should be easy to fix, just haven't looked into it. Please let me know of any bugs or misfeatures you find. If you fix or modify the code, please send the source so I can incorporate it into future releases. If you notice any other bugs in this demo, please see the bug list in the Release Notes to see if the problem is a known Toolkit defect.
