[comp.windows.x] Need Doc on Athena Widgets.... and Xt

gildea@expo.lcs.mit.EDU (Stephen Gildea) (01/11/91)

    I am looking for documentation of the Athena Widget Set, and
    any documentation on libXt.


Both Xt and Xaw are documented in the MIT R4 distribution.  (Since you
are asking for documentation of MIT code, I assume you already have the
distribution.)  Doc sources are in mit/doc/{Xt,Xaw}, ready-to-print
PostScript is in mit/hardcopy/{Xt,Xaw}.  Or you can order nicely-printed
versions of the same documents from MIT; call +1 617 258 8330 or write
to
                        MIT Software Distribution Center
                        Technology Licensing Office
                        Room E32-300
                        77 Massachusetts Avenue
                        Cambridge, MA  02139

For Xt documentation, you can also buy the excellent book
"X Window System Toolkit" by Asente and Swick (Digital Press).

That's the problem! I do not have the MIT distribution, and
wanted to get at the mit/doc or mit/hardcopy directories.
FTP'ing into expo.lcs.mit.edu or uunet.uu.net does not list the "mit"
directory, it seems the only way to get mit/doc is by getting over 
the entire tape-2 directory.

I was hoping that some FTP site that had already installed the X
stuff would allow me to get only what I need ....

But, seems like, I'll have to get everything in tape-2/*....
