Acknowledgments
Manythanks go to Ralph Swick (Project Athena / Digital) who has contributed much time and
effort to this widget set. Previous versions of the widget set are largely due to his time and effort.
Manyofthe improvements that I have been able to makeare because he provided a solid founda-
tion to build upon. While much of the effort has been Ralph’s, manyother people have contrib-
uted to the code.

While not much remains of the X10 toolkit, manyofthe ideas for this widget set come from that
original version. The design and implementation of the X10 toolkit were done by:
MikeGancarz (formerly Digital UEG)
Charles Haynes (Digital WSL)
Phil Karlton (formerly Digital WSL)
Kathleen Langone (Digital UEG)
Mary Larson (Digital UEG)
Ram Rao (Digital UEG)
Smokey Wallace (formerly Digital WSL)

Ihav e used the formatting ideas, and some of the words from previous versions of this document.
The X11R3 Athena widget document was written by:

Putting this manual together was a major task in and of itself. Iwould liketothank Ralph Swick,
Donna Converse, and Jim Fulton for taking the time to help convert my technical knowledge into
legible text. A special thanks to Jean Diaz (O’Reilly and Associates) for spending nearly a month
with me working out all the annoying little details.
