        !            11: DESCRIPTION
        !            12:      The Apollo X server can be started as a command to /bin/csh.
        !            13:      It requires two arguments, both of which should be 0.  Nor-
        !            14:      mally, however, the server should be started by invoking
        !            15:      _x_i_n_i_t(1).
        !            16: 
        !            17:      The device dependent portion of the server is implemented
        !            18:      using GPR system calls, and is known to work on DN300,
        !            19:      DN330, DN560, DN660, and DN3000 systems,  all running SR9.2.

        !            29: 
        !            30:      Much of the initial work was done by Doug Orr.
        !            31: 
        !            32: BUGS
        !            33:      Restrictions in the current implementation:
        !            34: 
        !            35:      -   Brush shapes are ignored and all result in 1x1 brush.
        !            36: 
        !            37:      -   The labelled control and shift keys do not affect the
        !            38:          mouse buttons;  the keys LD, LE, and LF have been
        !            39:          pressed into service to provide control, meta, and
        !            40:          shift, respectively, for the mouse buttons.  The "POP"
        !            41:          key also serves as a general meta key.  Should the
        !            42:          server become "wedged", typing shift F8 will terminate
        !            43:          the server.
        !            44: 
        !            45:      -   Apollo fonts impose restrictions on the number of char-
        !            46:          acters (127) and their maximum size;  thus, some fonts
        !            47:          cannot be converted to Apollo format and performance
        !            48:          using them is badly degraded.  Those fonts that can be
        !            49:          converted to Apollo format should be converted using
        !            50:          the cvtfont program.
        !            51: 
        !            52:      -   XY masks (for defining non-rectangular clipping regions
        !            53:          or "stencils") are not implemented.
        !            54: 
        !            55:      -   No SHIFT LOCK key is implementd.
        !            56: 
        !            57:      -   Only down events are available for the standard "print-
        !            58:          able" keys.

        !            74:      -   Up- and Down-events for the normal Control and Shift
        !            75:          keys are simulated, as these keys do not correspond to
        !            76:          separate GPR events.
        !            77: 
        !            78:      -   The csh invoking xinit should not have inprocess set.
        !            79:          This will cause the initial xterm process to hang.
