[comp.windows.x] Dumb questions about X-windows

rwb@viusys.UUCP (Rick Butland) (07/17/87)

I'm *very* new to the subject of X-Windows, and I'm wondering if some kind
soul will help me out.  Basically, I'm looking for two things:

1.  Reference material which describes the I/F, preferably something with a
title like "X-Windows for the Brain-damaged".  :-)

2.  I'd also like pointers to locating some PD source code that I could hack
at.

Thanks much,

I am writting a complete X11  Xlib programming manual,
and the conceptual material and basic examples are done and currently 
being reviewed. The whole book must be complete in first draft stage
by Sept. 1, but I can give you what I have now in exchange for
your comments and copying and postage expenses. 
I can mail it electronically but then you don't get the pictures...
