/* xtxtvw.c

   X11/Motif based text file viewer - example program meant to accompany
   Linux Journal article on Motif development

   the following command should build the application on most linux systems

   gcc -o xtxtvw xtxtvw.c -I/usr/X11R6/include -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXm -lXt -lX11

   the following command should build the application on many Solaris systems

   gcc -o xtxtvw xtxtvw.c -I/usr/dt/include -L/usr/openwin/lib -lXm -lXt -lX11
