This is the xdl_view library, written by JW Campbell for
crystallographic applications under the X Window system.

See the file COPYING for licence conditions.

See the file INSTALL for generic installation instructions on
Unix-like systems.  (The configuration system needs more work.)
`configure' will try to cope with some possible problems involving
different ABIs on Irix, for instance.  It will try to use gcc/g77 if
those compilers are available, otherwise assuming a native ANSI C
compiler and the Fortran 77 compiler normally used on the system.
Please note any messages from running configure.  On VMS, MAKEFILE.COM
might do something useful -- I can't tell.

You should be able to build and use a shared version of the library on
systems supported by GNU libtool.  How or whether you use them will be
system-dependent.

See the file BUGS for information on known bugs and bug-reporting.

Documentation is in the `doc' sub-directory (unfortunately only) in
HTML form and isn't completely up-to-date.

The current version is probably available at
<URL:ftp://ccp4a.dl.ac.uk/pub/jwc/> and/or in the general CCP4
distribution.
