This directory contains the 3D version of the Athena Widget Library (Xaw3d):
        README.html                 : this file
        Xaw3d-1.3-19a.ppc.rpm       : binary RPM
        Xaw3d-1.3-19a.src.rpm       : source RPM
        Xaw3d-devel-1.3-19a.ppc.rpm : development package (optional)
   

Installation Instructions

# rpm -Uvh <somewhere>/Xaw3d-1.3-19a.ppc.rpm

Now replace the default 2D Xaw by the 3D Xaw3d

# cd /usr/X11R6.3/lib
# mkdir libXaw.ORIG
# mv libXaw.so.6.1 libXaw.ORIG/
# ln -s libXaw3d.so.6.1 libXaw.so.6
so that X applications linked with shared libraries could use the 3D Athena Widget set. Try
$ xterm -sb
$ kterm -sb
$ xarchie
to see if you get now 3D scrollbars and 3D buttons. They look nicer, right?

Note:
The binary package was built with
EXTRA_DEFINES = -DARROW_SCROLLBAR -DUSEGRAY
so as to put arrows to both ends of any scrollbar and to avoid ugly shading in case color allocation fails due to other color-heavy applications (a must for 256 colors).
