 WHAT IS WAFE - A CLOSER LOOK

 Wafe (Widget[Athena]front end) is a package that implements
 a symbolic interface to the Athena widgets (X11R5) and
 OSF/Motif.

 Wafe can be used

   - as a SCRIPTING LANGUAGE to implement scripts with a graphical
     user interface

   - as a graphical FRONTEND for programs in arbitrary programming
     languages

   - as a simple, string based interface to X Toolkit
     and widget programming

 When Wafe is used as a frontend an application consists of two
 parts: a front-end (Wafe) and an application program which
 runs typically as a separate process. The application
 program language and talks to the front-end via stdio.
 Since Wafe (the front-end) was developed using the extensible
 TCL shell (cite John Ousterhout), an application program can
 dynamically submit requests to the front-end to build up the
 graphical user interface; the application can also down-load
 application specific procedures into the front-end, which
 can be executed without interaction with the application
 program.

 Wafe support the Athena widget set, OSF/Motif Widget set,
 Layout Widget, Plotter widget set, xpm library, rdd drag and
 drop library, XmGraph widget and the HTML widget from Mosaic
 (both in the Athena and Motif version).

 AVAILABILITY

 Wafe was developed on DECstations 5000/200 under Ultrix 4.2
 using X11R5, and has been tested on a SparcStation 1+ under
 SunOS 4.1, RS6000/320 under AIX, on a HP 9000/720 under hpux
 8.05 and under Linux 0.99.14. Wafe can be compiled under
 X11R5 and X11R4. The preferred program-to-program
 communication is done via socketpair, support for PIPES and
 SYS V streams is included for systems without the socktepair
 system call.

 Wafe 0.96 can be obtained via anonymous ftp from

         ftp.wu-wien.ac.at:pub/src/X11/wafe/wafe-0.96.tar.gz

 (for people without name server: the ip address is 137.208.3.4)
 A split up version is available from the same directory.

 Donations for statically bound binaries of the OSF/Motif version
 of Wafe (mofe) for various platforms are accepted.
