        !             2: Overview of the Software Hierarchy.
        !             3: .PP
        !             4: The device independent part of the X server is contained in the
        !             5: \fBX/X\fP directory.
        !             6: Device dependent code for different displays are contained in
        !             7: directories \fBlibvs100\fP, \fBlibqvss\fP, \fBlibqdss\fP,
        !             8: \fBlibsun\fP and eventually others.
        !             9: The device independent code is linked against these libraries
        !            10: to form executable programs for each display type; for example
        !            11: \fBXvs100\fP or \fBXqvss\fP or \fBXsun\fP.
        !            12: In each of these libraries is an include file named \fBvssite.h\fP which
        !            13: has definitions of the directory where fonts (and if any firmware is
        !            14: needed, where the firmware file) are located.
        !            15: These files should be edited to suit local taste.
        !            16: By default, as distributed, fonts are located in the directory
        !            17: \fB/usr/new/lib/X/font\fP.

        !            20: programs.
        !            21: As distributed, all code links against the `local' copy of the
        !            22: library, and does not require that the library be installed in /usr/lib
        !            23: for linking.
        !            24: .PP
        !            25: The directory \fBuwm\fP contains the ``Ultrix Window Manager'', hands down

        !            37: `inline' program used to make inline code optimizations in the 4.3BSD
        !            38: kernel.
        !            39: This program is used by several libraries to avoid procedure call overhead
        !            40: in critical code of the window system.
        !            41: As this version is known to have some bugs in it, we do not recommend using it

        !            47: It is a general database, and not directly tied to X per se'.

        !            57: teletype driver, and so on.
        !            58: Only files which do not exist on the 4.3BSD distribution are included,

        !            63: performance monitors, window dump and undump programs and the like.
        !            64: Xted is a version of the Clu screen editor "ted" which has been modified
