                    Tix 4.0a1 ALPHA Release:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

        This is the first release of Tix 4.0. Not everything is
        working. There is very little documentation except the best
        kind of documentation -- the source code itself :)

        This alpha release is intended for TK developers only. Please
        don't use it in critical applications whose failures will
        cost your jobs.

>>>>>>  Please read the file README.LEGAL first. Also, read the
        "frequently asked question" section at the end of this
        document. It also covers some legal issues of this version of
        Tix.

Requirement
-----------
        (1) TCL 7.4 and TK 4.0

        Inaddition, if you want the SGI GL widgets you also need

        (1) the glxwin-1.3.1 from MIT. I have included it inside

        ** You don't need [incr tcl] because Tix is based on its own
        OOP framework.

Installation
------------

   (1)  With Tix 4.0, you need to compile a C library. Go into src and
        edit the Makefile to suit your configuration. If you want to
        use the Silicon Graphics GL, edit the file Makefile.sgi

        After that, you can type "make", which will give you libtix.a and
        tixwish.

        Notice that if you use Makefile.sgi, it will generate files of
        the same name. Therefore, if you want to have an SGI version
        together with a non-SGI version, then you have to rename the
        GL capabale tixwish to something else.

   (2)  After you finish with the binary, you can install the TCL script
        library of Tix. You can copy the whole subdirectory
        Tix4.0a1/library to /usr/local/lib/tcl. If you put the library
        somewhere else, you have to set the environment variable
        TIX_LIBRARY to point to that directory.

   (3)  Now you can start to play with the demos. Make sure these
        environment variables are set up correctly:

                TCL_LIBRARY     --> TCL 7.4 library
                TK_LIBRARY      --> TK  4.0 library
                TIX_LIBRARY     --> TIX 4.0 libraryary

        Change directory to Tix4.0a1/demos and type

                $ tixwish -f widget

        If it doesn't work, take a step backward. Change directory to
        Tix4.0a1/test and try each of them. At least some should work.

GL Widgets
----------

        Demos are in Tix4.0a1/test
