STonX documentation

Not much available yet, sorry! Some day, we might write something useful, but we'd rather work on the code instead...
There's some more information in the actual source package (see the download section), if you haven't got it yet, you should start there.

If you have major problems or want to help developing STonX, you should perhaps consider joining the STonX mailing list.

Bugs

There are still quite a few of them. Some of the more annoying ones are:

• The Dfree() function returns incorrect block sizes on some systems; it doesn't even compile on others. Thanks, POSIX for not standardizing this!
• The Xlib-VDI driver has plenty of bugs and shortcomings.
• The Unix filesystem interface can't deal with mixed upper-/lowercase filenames properly.
• Audio doesn't work properly yet on most systems.

Most other problems are due to missing features. The warnings about missing or unknown keysyms can be eliminated by fixing the "Keysyms" file to work with your display.

Thanks! Without you, STonX would be much further from where it should be by now! :-)

And also thanks to the stonx-development Mailing list for their interesting and inspirering discussions.
