- xwais - X interface to the WAIS system

-
- DDDDEEEESSSSCCCCRRRRIIIIPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
- xxxxwwwwaaaaiiiissss is a simple interface that allows the selection and
- modification of WAIS questions and sources.
-
- There are basically three kinds of windows you will see in
- Xwais:
-
- 1. the main Xwais window.
- 2. a number of Question windows.
- 3. a Source window.
-
- In the main Xwais window you'll see two lists - Questions
- and Sources.
-
- To open a question, select the question in the Question List
- and press the "Open" button in the Question frame. To
- create a new question, press the "New" button in the
- Question frame. Press "Help" in the resulting Question
- window for information on how to manipulate
- questions.
-
- To add a new source, press the "New" button in the Source
- Frame. To edit an old source, press the "Open" button.
-
- To exit the application, click twice on the "Quit" button.
- This only closes the Xwais "shell". Questions must be
- closed explicitly.
-
- Remember, your window manager may be managing some of
- these windows, so if you click on a button and see no
- window, check to see if the window has actually been
- iconified.

- $(HOME)/wais-questions location of saved questions.
- $(HOME)/wais-sources location for personal sources.

- RRRREEEESSSSOOOOUUUURRRRCCCCEEEESSSS
- The following resources may be changed to modify the default
- behavior of the application. I recommend you look at the
- resource file Xwais to get a better idea of all the
- resources available.
- Xwais*questionDirectory: ~/wais-questions/
- Xwais*userSourceDirectory: ~/wais-sources/
- Xwais*commonSourceDirectory: /proj/wais/wais/wais-sources/

- BBBBUUUUGGGGSSSS
- xxxxwwwwaaaaiiiissss currently has a limit of twenty questions. It will
- arbitrarily trunctate the list to the first twenty files it
- sees.
-
- xxxxwwwwaaaaiiiissss does not sort the question or source lists. It really
- should.
-
- xxxxwwwwaaaaiiiissss is heavily dependant on it's resources. If it is
- unable to find the proper resource file, it will most likey
- become unusable.
-
- xxxxwwwwaaaaiiiissss has no limit to resizing, so if the window is resized
- too small, some buttons may be lost.
