       Item:  Reusable Graphical Browser (RGB),
              Version 0.3.3,
              SunOS Implementation

Description:

This reusable software component implements a graphical user interface 
for viewing the contents of an object management system.  Its purpose is to 
facilitate the construction of various browsing tools, serving as the user 
interface component of those tools.  The generic application interface and 
tailorable user interface promote portability of graphical browsing tools by 
isolating them from the underlying graphics system.  Tool builders need not be 
familiar with the intricacies of graphics packages or windowing systems to use 
this product.

RGB is implemented in Ada, with the exception of one small routine, coded
in C.  The implementation is compatible with Version 11, Releases 3 and 4 of 
the MIT X Window System and is dependent upon the Unisys STARS Ada/Xt Toolkit.

The release includes the RGB User Manual, and the RGB Version Description 
Document, which describes this version of RGB and provides installation 
instructions.  The documents are provided in both plain ASCII (suffix ".tty") 
and Postscript (suffix ".ps") forms, in the files listed below:
