We are currently working on a quick-reference guide akin to
our UNIX in a Nutshell, which we will call "The X Window
System In a Nutshell."  We hope to have as many other useful
such compendia as possible, as well as synopses of all xlib
and xt functions and macros.

We will do our best to include the above suggestion, and
would appreciate any other requests for useful
quick-reference tables.

Suggestions should be mailed to dale@ora.uu.net.
