X TechInfo is a Motif/X11-based interface to TechInfo that includes
provider capability and a number of other features.

Warning: Release 4.0 is not easy to build and install.  The Imakefiles
are in a weird configuration; you will probably need to do a lot of
editing.  There are no instructions for what header files you need to
edit yourself.  However, it compiles and runs on several different
BSD-like operating systems at MIT, so once you get the Imakefiles
and header files straightened out, everything else should be fine.

X TechInfo takes advantages of some TechInfo server features that aren't
available for anonymous ftp as of March 1993.  This will result in
"Server didn't understand the request" errors when users try to use
certain features.  Try xtechinfo -server tiserve.mit.edu to see all the
features in action.

If you don't have the com_err library, you will also need to ftp it from
athena-dist.mit.edu:/pub/tools/com_err.tar.Z

Be sure to get and read the file mit-copyright.h.

X TechInfo was compiled with Motif 1.1.4 and 1.1.5.  It is not known
what other versions of Motif will work.

Allow 1.8 Meg for uncompressed source and 8 Meg for your build tree.
