The 10.03.2007/1.5.0a2 release. 
(Although I'm not a programmer nowadays, I'll try to do my best in this project)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rdesktop is the client for Windows NT/2000/XP Terminal Server.
This is OS/2 port of rdesktop, a free client for the RDP protocol.

It's a quick'n'dirty hack of Rdesktop v.1.5.0 for using under OS/2.
It was ported with a use of GCC and SDL.
It will need libc061.dll somewhere in the LIBPATH. The needed SDL dlls 
are included. No X servers are needed.

Please note that:

SDL uses the Scitech SNAP API to have video support, so the SDL apps will
require Scitech SNAP or Scitech Display Doctor in order to run.

   Special Keys / Full-Screen support
-------------------------------------

There are two special hot-keys implemented:
- Alt+Home switches between fullscreen and windowed mode
- Alt+End simulates closing the window (can be used as a Panic key)
Only the LEFT Alt key will work.

Read 'Help.txt' for some command-line options, change 'example.cmd' for 
YOUR needs and execute it.

   Windows 2000 Server
-------------------------------------
As for now, there is a quirk display for some Win menus on the Windows 2000 
Server, when moving mouse pointer upwards over them. The quirk disappears 
when moving mouse pointer downwards over them. It also disappears, 
if this menu/window is not active. The console windows may be completely 
messed up, and I don't know why.

   Windows XP
-------------------------------------
I had not seen such quirk display for menus on the Windows XP machines. Maybe 
another RDP server shows another results. The console windows may be completely 
messed up, and I don't know why.

   To Be Done (maybe)
-------------------------------------
On my configuration, I cannot do some non-trivial things:
// Pop Up Menu key does not work for me (my keyboard generates it right, 
// but I can not send it's scancode to Win machines, or the scancode is wrong

Most other keys and their combinations were rewritten by me and work (I hope)
just well. The Numlock key sometimes is not synchronised with host, also
does not the Capslock.

The keyboard translation via 'keymaps' is almost broken by me and SDL, so I 
don't include this directory into the package, meaning the size of the 
download.

If your Win 'server' is configured to switch between locales with Ctrl-Shift
key combination, this goes quite well. Alt-Shift wasn't probed.

Double-click Left mouse button does not work (I don't know event for it).
However, U may press any Enter on the keyboard.

No one of your OS/2 devices can be redirected right now (the flag
   '-r: enable specified device redirection (this flag can be repeated)'
does not work). Don't try it.

However, the flag   '-P: use persistent bitmap caching' works well.
Of course, if U had set your %HOME% variable properly.

The fullscreen mode is SLOW! And it does not have any mouse cursor.
(U R warned)!
