NOTES ON cmdtool memory leak (bug 1068828)
------------------------------------------

There are two ways to make use of this patch.  You can turn off the
AGAIN key for the entire desktop, or you can disable it for a particular
application.

1)  You can disable the AGAIN key for your entire desktop.  This will
turn the AGAIN key off for all the textsubwindows and termsubwindows
running on your server.  To do this, you must explicitly disable the 
AGAIN key.  (The AGAIN key is enabled by default.)  To disable the 
AGAIN key, you must set the 
following resource in your .Xdefaults file:

	text.againRecording:	False


2)  If you only want to turn off the again for a particular application,
you must add the following line to the source code of the application:

	/* Turn off AGAIN_RECORDING to save memory */
	xv_set(textsw, TEXTSW_AGAIN_RECORDING, FALSE, 0);


This will have the effect of turning off the AGAIN key for only that
application.


3)  It is also possible to turn off the AGAIN feature for a particular
instance of a tool. Here is an example for cmdtool:

	cmdtool -xrm "text.againRecording: False"


NOTES ON horizontal menus (bug 1098466)
------------------------------------------
To enable the bug compatibility feature (old XView functionality)
of this patch you must set the following resource :

	xview.compatibility.menunrows

Or

	XView.Compatibility.Menunrows

To True.  Taking advantage of the compatibility feature can be accomplished 
for the entire desktop by placing in your .Xdefaults file the following :

	XView.Compatibility.Menunrows:	True

Or on a particular application by using the -xrm command line options :

	$OPENWINHOME/bin/props -xrm "XView.Compatibility.Menunrows: True"

NOTES ON CUT &amp; PASTE PROBLEM
----------------------------
Patch 100452-28 &amp; above will tickle a bug in filemgr (core dump when
drag-n-dropped on the same folder). This bug is fixed in patch
100462-14 &amp; above. 

NOTES ON SERVER PROBLEM
-----------------------
Applications that use the server object must be relinked to this new version
of the library.  Any application which does not explicitly create or gets a
server object will work fine without relinking of the application.

NOTES ON PANEL_CLIENT_DATA PROBLEM
----------------------------------
The XV_KEY_DATA and PANEL_CLIENT_DATA attributes
are now propagated from the PANEL_NUMERIC_TEXT package to
the child PANEL_TEXT item, so that client data may be retrived
transparently within the PANEL_EVENT_PROC.

Also, the PANEL_ITEM_OWNER attribute has been made public, so
the client may obtain the parent object given the child.  In
essence, if PANEL_ITEM_OWNER ever returns a value (non-NULL),
than the client should assume this is the proper handle.

The client should be warned that relying on values retrieved
or set on the child handle are not guaranteed to be forward
compatible IF those values are not handled through the parent
object's API.

Patch Installation Instructions:
--------------------------------------------------
Refer to the Install.info file within the patch for instructions on
using the generic 'installpatch' and 'backoutpatch' scripts provided
with each patch. Any other special or non-generic installation
instructions should be described below.
