Widget Creation Library Version 2.6 Distribution
------------------------------------------------

The distribution contains files which make up the Widget Creation
Library (Wcl or libWc.a), and resource interpreters and utility
libraries (which include Table widgets) for each of the following
widget sets: Athena, Motif, and OpenLook.

Wcl is completely widget set independent.  It provides mechanisms to
allow an entire user interface to be specified in resource files.
Basically, this amounts to providing new resources for specifying the
types of the widgets and the widget heirarchy.  In addition, Wcl
provides several callbacks and action functions which many programs
need.

See README20 for general information about Wcl version 2, and README22
for additional features introduced in Wcl version 2.2 and version 2.1,
and README23 for new features in Wcl 2.3, README24 for new features
in Wcl 2.4, and README25 for new features in Wcl 2.5

New Features of Wcl 2.6
------------------------

brokenXmTextShowPosition  When XmText widgets are used for Wcl messages
			  via XmpMessageWidget, sometimes there can
			  be a problem with XmTextShowPosition.  If so
			  in specific cases, you can set this attribute
			  to somewhat avoid the side effects.  Sigh.

New Platform Support
--------------------
HP 'Snake' platforms	MakeByHand can be used to build the distribution
			by using WcMake1.hp and WcMake2.hp.  Some people
			had problems with CFLAGS for the silly HP cc...

VMS			Better!!  Try the new VMSWcl.com.  Several changes
			in libWc to deal with VMS file naming.  Thanks to
			Peter Scott.

OSF1			Pretty simple really - trivial changes to 
			Wc/WcSetValues.c, and a few things in the
			Imakefile and Wc.tmpl.  Use imake.  Thanks to 
			danial@macsch.com (Danial Beck).

AIX			Better than before.  Use WcMake?.aix and
			MakeByHand.

Bug Fixes
---------

COPY -> COPY.h		The include files with the copyright notices
			has been renamed to match normal include file
			naming conventions.  For VMS, among others.

Xmp/Table		Some geometry problems when used with XmForm
			have been fixed.

XmpPopupACT		Now avoids possible problems, and reports
			specifically what the problems are if any.
			For example, popups need to be posted using
			button events, and menu panes must be XmRowCol's
			with appropriate attributes.

ETC			Several assorted problems isolated by Marc Evans
