        !             3: Xapollo - X window system Apollo implementation notes
        !             4: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             5: .PP
        !             6: The Apollo X server can be started as a command to /bin/csh.  It 
        !             7: requires two arguments, both of which should be 0.  Normally, however, the server should be 
        !             8: started by invoking 
        !             9: .IR xinit (1).
        !            10: .PP
        !            11: The device dependent portion of the server is implemented using 
        !            12: .B GPR
        !            13: system calls, and is known to work on DN300, DN330, DN560, DN660, and DN3000
        !            14: systems,  all running SR9.2.

        !            31: .PP
        !            32: Restrictions in the current implementation:
        !            33: .IP \-
        !            34: Brush shapes are ignored and all result in 1x1 brush.
        !            35: .IP \-
        !            36: The labelled control and shift keys do not affect the mouse buttons;  the keys
        !            37: LD, LE, and LF have been pressed into service to provide control, meta, and 
        !            38: shift, respectively, for the mouse buttons.  The "POP" key also serves as a 
        !            39: general meta key.  Should the server become "wedged", typing shift F8 will
        !            40: terminate
        !            41: the server.
        !            42: .IP \-
        !            43: Apollo fonts impose restrictions on the number of characters (127) and their
        !            44: maximum size;  thus, some fonts cannot be converted to Apollo format and
        !            45: performance using them is badly degraded.  Those fonts that can be converted
        !            46: to Apollo format should be converted using the cvtfont program.
        !            47: .IP \-
        !            48: XY masks (for defining non-rectangular clipping regions or "stencils") are
        !            49: not implemented.
        !            50: .IP \-
        !            51: No SHIFT LOCK key is implementd.
        !            52: .IP \-
        !            53: Only down events are available for the standard "printable" keys.
        !            54: .IP \-
        !            55: Up- and Down-events for the normal Control and Shift keys are simulated, as
        !            56: these keys do not correspond to separate GPR events.
        !            57: .IP \-
        !            58: The csh invoking xinit should not have inprocess set.  This will cause the
        !            59: initial xterm process to hang.
