Hello everybody!

When using [x]p3gdb any information related to the original versions
of the programs (i.e. gdb and xxgdb) also applies to the special
version for debugging Parallaxis-III.

Here are some additional informations which may be important for
understanding and running the program.

- The X Windows user interface has some additional buttons, which
  should be self explanatory (otherwise get the source, there is a
  separate README file).

- The provided application defaults given in app-defaults/XP3gdb are
  compiled into the program. So this file is not required until you want
  to change some settings.

- The X Window user interface is NOT a substitute for the xxgdb
  program. You must keep xxgdb! xp3gdb only supports a small set of
  features given in xxgdb for the standard programming languages, but
  offers a great set of features for Parallaxis-III.

- p3gdb can replace your standard gdb. Parallaxis-III handling has
  been put into the original gdb. There are no restrictions to the
  programming languages supported by standard gdb.

- On some operating systems the compiler can not place the directory
  information the sources have been in at compile time. To get
  [x]p3gdb started with full information about Parallaxis-III vector
  variables put a statement into your $HOME/.gdbinit like this:
    dir[ectory] path_to_your_sources
  This is not necessary if the sources reside in the current
  directory.
  Operation systems missing this feature are: AIX, IRIX

- Because xp3gdb calls p3gdb to debug the program p3gdb has to be in
  your PATH. Otherwise specify the path to p3gdb in the environment
  variable XXGDB_DEBUGGER. (Like the original xxgdb.)

- To start your favorite source editor, specify it in either of the
  following environment variables:
    XP3GDBWINEDIT, WINEDIT
  The default is to use 'xxgdbedit'. This program is not provided in
  any way.
