                     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.

                     27:      Mark Swanson
                     28:      Copyright (c) 1986 by University of Utah.
                     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.
                     59:

                     73: 
                     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.
