What's OffiX? 
-------------
     The OffiX Project is an attempt to make Unix systems more
user-friendly. It is a set of tools that can communicate with each
other using an intuitive drag and drop scheme. The following tools are
provided with OffiX:

     Files: a filemanager formely known as Xfm. 
     Editor: a menu-driven text editor. 
     Printer: a droppable print tool. 
     Trash: a wastebasket from which you can undelete files. 

     The Offix tools use a public drag and drop protocol called
Dnd. Any X program can use this protocol to communicate with other
programs. An Xt interface to Dnd is furnished with OffiX distribution.

What's new in release 2? 
------------------------
     - Clipboard: a patched version of xclipboard 
     - Execute: a general purpose wrapper to redirect the stderr/stdout
of your programs to an X window.
     - Patches included to make the following programs DND compatible:
bitmap (bitmap editor), xdvi (the famous dvi viewer), ghostview, xjed
(text editor), goodstuff (the Good Stuff module of fvwm), wharf (the
wharf module of bowman). There are other patches too. Check the home page.
     - Files incorporates the features of xfm version 1.3.2 and can
communicate with Tycoon (an icon-based program launcher - see how it
looks). Also, Files accepts command line arguments to start iconified
or open several directory windows at startup.
     - Other minor modifications, bug fixes and improvements. 

What's new in release 2.1? 
--------------------------
	Mainly a compatibility version intended to ease my task of
solving compatibility problems. This version is known to compile on
Solaris with X11R6.1 and gcc 2.7.2 and GNU make 3.74. Of course, it
compiles on linux with gcc 2.7.2.
