This is a distribution of Release 5.1 of the
Siemens RTL Tiled Window Manager
------------------------------------------------------------
There are 14 compressed tar files.
Join them by:
% cat rtl.tar.Z.* > rtl.tar.Z
Uncompress them by:
% uncompress rtl.tar
Extract the files by:
% tar xf rtl.tar
There should now be 3 subdirectories:
doc, custom, and extras
------------------------------------------------------------
The top directory contains
-- .c, .h, and i. files -- source for rtl
-- IMakefile -- a simple Makefile to make the system
To make rtl:
-- If you got this on the Release 3 tape, it should build when you build
the contrib tree.
-- Otherwise, set TOPDIR to the top of your X sources;
make Makefile (calls Imake to build a correct
Makefile); make all (to build rtl)
------------------------------------------------------------
The doc subdirectory contains
-- ANNOUNCENT -- The announcement of Release 5.1 with a list of features
-- plaintext -- A subdirectory with plaintext versions of the documentation
-- tex -- A subdirectory with tex versions of the documentation
-- scribe -- A subdirectory with scribe versions of the documentation
-- postscript -- A subdirectory with postscript versions of the documentation
Each of the subdirectories within doc contains (w appropriate extensions)
-- tutorial5 -- A tutorial for first time users of rtl
-- manual5 -- A manual for release 5.1
-- refpage5 -- A quick reference page for a 3 button mouse
-- refpage_one5 -- A quick reference page for a 1 button mouse
------------------------------------------------------------
The custom subdirectory contains
-- bitmaps -- a variety of bitmap files used as pixmap icons
-- ellis, berman, jcc -- The customization files used by each of the developers
The customization subdirectories ( ellis, berman & jcc ) may contain
-- .rtl.preferences -- the main preference file for rtl-related options
-- .rtl.profiles -- specifies additional preference files
-- .rtl.tools -- for setting up the Tools submenu
-- .rtl.startup -- a file optionally executed on startup
-- .rtl.layout -- holds a saved window layout
See the tutorial and the Customization section of the manual for more information.
------------------------------------------------------------
The extras subdirectory contains
-- rhyme.c and rhymes -- edit rhyme.c to open "rhymes" on the correct
path, then compile and run it in an xterm window.
-- yow.c, yow2.c, yow-press.c, yow-transient.c -- each of
these is a test program for window managers.
yow-transient.c uses client icon and transient windows
