** RCOS for UNIX README **
**************************

    !!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!
   
    The RCOS UNIX version is buggy and needs serious
    work.  You can struggle with it if you want to.
    I would suggest you try the MS-DOS version or
    maybe RCOS.java.

This directory contains the following files
*       Unix Makefile for RCOS
*       a shell script to convert the MS-DOS RCOS source files
	into a format useable undex UNIX
*       a shell script to convert the UNIX source files to MS-DOS

To compile RCOS under Unix you will need
*       X Windows in particular XLib
*       a C++ compiler (I've tested it using gcc version 2.5.8

The process basically is
*       copy the source files from the source directory, the
	Makefile and the scripts from this directory onto your
	UNIX box
*       run the conversion script dos2unix
*       and type make

********************************
** Problems with UNIX version **
********************************

The X11 version of RCOS is very alpha and suffers from the
following known problems
*       the RCOS window is not refreshed properly
*       the code that reads the RCOS.INI and the PCD files
	expects the filenames to be in upper case (a left 
	over from MS-DOG)
*       the updating of the terminals doesn't yet work to
	well

There is probably a list of other problems.

If anyone ever gets around to fixing these problems I'd be happy
to hear from you.
