This is version 0.6.5 of the GNUstep GUI X/GPS Backend (`gnustep-xgps').

What is the GNUstep GUI X/GPS Backend?
======================================

   It is a back-end component for the GNUstep GUI Library.  The
implementation of the GNUstep GUI Library is designed in two parts.  The
first part is the front-end component which is independent of platform
and display system.  This front-end is combined with a back-end
component which handles all of the display system dependent such as
specific calls to the X Window System.  This design allows the GNUstep
applications to have the "look and feel" of the underlying display
system without any changes to the application, and the library can be
easily ported to other display systems.

   The GNUstep GUI X/GPS Backend is for platforms using the X Window
System It works via a DPS emulation engine to use Xlib calls to emulate
the DPS functions required by the front-end system.

What's new in this release?
===========================

   The currently released version of the library is
`0.6.5'.  See the news file for the GUI library for recent news items.

How can I get support for this software?
========================================

   We currently do not have a mailing list setup explicitly for the
GNUstep GUI X/GPS Backend; however, you may wish to use the GNUstep
discussion mailing list for general questions and discussion.  Look at
the GNUstep Web Pages for more information regarding GNUstep resources
`http://www.gnustep.org/'

Where can you get it?  How can you compile it?
==============================================

   The gstep-xgps-0.6.5.tar.gz distribution file has been placed on
`ftp.gnustep.org' in `pub/gnustep/core'.

   The program requires gcc 2.8.0 or higher.

   The `.tar' file is compressed with GNU gzip.  Gzip can be obtained by
anonymous ftp at any of the GNU archive sites.

   For info about FTP via email, send email to <ftpmail@decwrl.dec.com>
with no subject line, and two-line body with line one `help' and line
two `quit'.

   The most recent (not necessarily tested) snapshots of the library
will be placed in `ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/gnustep'.

Where do I send bug reports?
============================

   Bug reports can be sent to the GNUstep bug list <bug-gnustep@gnu.org>

   Most GNU software is packed using the GNU `gzip' compression program.
Source code is available on most sites distributing GNU software.

   For information on how to order GNU software on tape, floppy or
cd-rom, or printed GNU manuals, check the file etc/ORDERS in the GNU
Emacs distribution or in GNUinfo/ORDERS on prep, or e-mail a request to:

   By ordering your GNU software from the FSF, you help us continue to
develop more free software.  Media revenues are our primary source of
support.  Donations to FSF are deductible on US tax returns.

   The above software will soon be at these ftp sites as well.  Please
try them before `ftp.gnu.org' as it is very busy!
