The files in this directory represent my personal tailoring of the SCO OpenServer Release 5 X.Desktop, SCO Panner and Session Management.

In order to use these files, they need to be installed in your home directory. To do so, you can type "make installxp" or just execute the Install shell script in this directory (e.g. type "sh Install").

The contents of this directory are as follows :

I have configured the pmwm root menu so that a number of cascading pop-up menus are available. I have also configured the button bindings so that you do not need to hold the mouse button down to keep the pop-up menus up. Instead, you just click and the menu pops up. To get it to pop-down, just click on a window (e.g. the panner box or a scoterm).

If you don't want to use X.Desktop and would rather just run pmwm with a scoterm, then install .startxrc in your home directory. To do so, either type "make installstartx" or type "sh Install startx". Installing this .startxrc will cause your session to ignore the files in .xdt_dir and .odt_pref.

If you just want the SCO panner configuration files, either type "make installpmwm" or type "sh Install pmwm". If you just want the X.Desktop configuration files and not the SCO Panner files, type "make installxdt" or type "sh Install xdt".

Hope you enjoy and feel free to send feedback, improvements, comments, bug reports and compliments to rr@ronrecord.com.
