xconvers v0.4
-------------
Guido has agreed to put xconvers under GPL. He stopped maintaining xconvers,
so if you have any questions do NOT send them to Guido, but to me.
I will try and coordinate any changes to the package. Here is the mail I
got from Guido:

I'm verry supprised that anyone is going to use my xconvers now. Some jears
ago I started programming with Motif on xconvers. So it may be written
not to clever. ;-)

Yes of cause, I put xconvers under GPL. At the time of writing the program I
couldn't imagine that it could be of public interest sometime. Please feel
free to redistribute xconvers als you like it. Since I do not maintain
xconvers, would you please insert the necessary GPL-notices into the sources
and the README-File? Perhaps you could also mention that I no longer
maintain xconvers.
If there are remaining questions please e-mail me.
Greetings,
Guido

Xconvers is originally written for Motif, but I was able to succesfully
compile and run with lesstif (see www.lesstif.org), a free Motif clone.
The lesstif version I tried was the latest development version, which
will come out soon as version 0.83. Linux version is 2.0.33.
I made minor changes to the code to be able to compile with libc6. I also
had to enter the GPL stuff into the source code.

xconvers v0.3
-------------
This is a preversion of xconvers.
It is used to connect the convers server shiped with WAMPES.
Some parts are drawn from Dieter Deykes 'convers'. While programming it I
learned how to use the motif toolkit.
I have written the program on LINUX 1.0.9 with Motif 1.2.1.
Please feel free and send bugreports and improvement suggestions to me.
If you have imake, run 'xmkmf' to build the appropriate Makefile,
otherwise copy Makefile.NoImake to Makefile.
Then run 'make' and 'make install'.
