1.1     ! maekawa     1: X11 changes for gnuplot 3.3
        !             2: ---------------------------
        !             3:
        !             4: Enhancements
        !             5: ------------
        !             6:
        !             7:    o VMS X11 support (Jehavi Bourvine)
        !             8:
        !             9:    o New X11 rendering for 'points' plotting style improves point
        !            10:      quality and eliminates the 'X11' terminal type whose only
        !            11:      function was to request multi-colored points. (Russell Lang)
        !            12:
        !            13:    o tailorable linewidths, dash styles, and point sizes (see
        !            14:      the man page)
        !            15:
        !            16:    o Color handling:
        !            17:
        !            18:        - "colorname,intensity" where 0 < intensity < 1
        !            19:          For example, 'blue,.5' means a half intensity blue
        !            20:
        !            21:        - hexadecimal RGB colors accepted (needed for HP VUE)
        !            22:
        !            23:        - Failure to parse/allocate a color defaults to black
        !            24:          for that color rather than monochrome for whole plot
        !            25:
        !            26:    o 'set term x11' assumed if '-display' option on command line.
        !            27:
        !            28: Bug Fixes
        !            29: ---------
        !            30:
        !            31:    o On monochrome servers, any lines plotted before the first label
        !            32:      was printed were lost. This lost zero axes and garbled some
        !            33:      other plots. (Kenneth H. Carpenter)
        !            34:
        !            35:    o User specified geometry position ignored with some window managers.
        !            36:      Negative positions miscalculated. (Mike Coleman)
        !            37:
        !            38:
        !            39: Vendor Botch Circumventions
        !            40: ---------------------------
        !            41:
        !            42:    o New X11FLAGS options:
        !            43:
        !            44:       - OW_BOTCH circumvents "ld.so: Undefined symbol: __XtInherit"
        !            45:         loader errors on Sun Open Windows platforms. (Vivek Khera)
        !            46:
        !            47:       - ISC22 circumvents select() problem with ISC2.2 (Robert Eckardt)
        !            48:
        !            49:       - BSD_TYPES pulls select FD_SET definitions from <sys/bsdtypes.h>
        !            50:         (Michael Herrmann)
        !            51:
        !            52:       - ULTRIX_KLUDGE expanded to circumvent missing demo plots at
        !            53:         Ultrix 4.1 (chan@holo.iitsg.nrc.ca)
        !            54:
        !            55:    o Random window geometry with Esix X11R3 (Al Bolduc)
        !            56:
        !            57:
        !            58: Miscellaneous
        !            59: -------------
        !            60:
        !            61:    o The man page has been updated to document that background and
        !            62:      foreground are not honored for monochrome displays, only -rv
        !            63:      and 'gnuplot*reverseVideo:on'.
        !            64:
        !            65:    o '-tvtwm' command line option and gnuplot*tvtwm resource
        !            66:
        !            67:      Mike Coleman's fix for user-specified geometry position for
        !            68:      other window managers causes tvtwm to use absolute rather
        !            69:      then virtual-relative coordinates when the user specifies
        !            70:      geometry. This command line option and resource tells
        !            71:      gnuplot_x11 to use PPosition (virtual-relative) when a
        !            72:      geometry position is requested.
        !            73:
        !            74:      Unfortunately, negative y positions are off by the size of the
        !            75:      window manager title bar. Thus, for example, -0-20 rather than
        !            76:      -0-0 is needed to place the lower right corner of the window
        !            77:      at the lower right corner of the screen.
        !            78:
