README.TXT - eXcursion SDK V1.2
Alpha AXP demo

This is an Alpha-only version of the eXcursion Software Development Kit 
for the X Window System. This kit contains libraries, include files, and 
demo applications for Alpha AXP systems running Microsoft WIndows NT.

To run one of the demo programs, you must have an X server available 
either on the local system or a remote system to which you have access. 
Both client and server systems must have the TCP/IP network transport 
installed. You can set the display to the server system in several ways. 
The simplest is to set an environment variable (SET DISPLAY=NODE:0). Or 
you can specify the display when you run the app (ICO -DISPLAY NODE:0).
If you are connecting to the local system, you can specify :0 as the 
display. If you are not connected to a network and don't have a network 
adapter installed, you can still run locally by setting up the loopback 
adapter driver. To do this, run the Windows NT Control panel, select the 
network icon, and install the MS loopback adapter driver software. Then
install the TCP/IP software. Now you can run eXcursion (or another Windows 
NT X server) and run the client application.

Before using this kit, you must copy it onto an NTFS partition and rename
the files. The reason is that some of the files have long names (longer
than the FAT 8.3 limit). Run the batch file NAMES.BAT to rename the files.
You can install the kit onto a FAT partition, but you will need to edit
any source files that refer to include files or directories that have
long names.
