sebern.README

The file sebern.motifapp-1.1.tar.Z is the example source code from my book
"Building OSF/Motif Applications: A Practical Introduction", Prentice Hall,
1994. ISBN 0-13-122409-3.

This file contains the complete C and UIL source files for the book 
examples, including the "slide maker" program that serves as the vehicle 
for most of the book's presentation of X and Motif programming. This 
version (1.1) incorporates some minor fixes, but is otherwise the same as 
that in the first printing of the book.

Some UIL compilers fail with a "severe error" on the file "mslide.uil", 
as described on page 248 in the book. The workaround suggested there
has been implemented in this version of the code.

The book is written primarily for the software practitioner, but it has
also been used successfully as the text for a computer engineering senior 
elective in GUI programming.

If you find the book helpful, or discover any problems with the book or
the example code, I'd like to hear from you. You may contact me through one
