+DESKTOP TEXTURES
+
+Desktop Textures is an on-going graphic arts/software project of Stephen
+Krauth and Geoff Adams, one of several such projects at Avernus.  The xpm
+files in this directory are derived from the textures we've created for
+display on the Macintosh desktop.  You can find the current release of the
+Desktop Textures distribution for the Macintosh on the Glue anonymous ftp
+site ftp.eng.umd.edu in the pub/avernus directory.  This is a MacBinary
+file.  If you prefer to transfer a BinHex file, you can find one on the
+Info Mac ftp site sumex-aim.stanford.edu.
+
+There are currently three complete volumes of textures and one 24-bit
+supplement.  This directory contains only some of them.  As time allows,
+we'll be filling this directory with the rest of the textures.
+
+You can display these patterns on your X display with your favourite
+bitmap/pixmap viewer, such as xv.  You can also set one of our textures to
+be your X root window background:
+
+* If you use tvtwm, you can set the VirtualDesktopBackgroundPixmap and
+  PannerBackgroundPixmap variables each to the filename of one of these
+  textures.
+
+* If you use another window manager, you can place a command in your
+  .xsession file that says something like:  "xloadimage -onroot filename".
+
+These images are not for use with the Microsoft Windows environment.  Using
+these patterns in a Windows environment consitutes a copyright violation.
+All other use and further distribution requires that we are credited with
+creation of the textures.  Obtain our permission prior to redistribution in
+any form other than this entire package as you find it here.
+
+You may reach the creators of these textures at the following address:

+desc/cl-bgnd/Textures   Desktop Textures Inclusion
+
+Geoff Adams <gadams@avernus.com> and  Stephen Krauth <phred@avernus.com>
+has kindly allowed the inclusion of this small part of the Desktop
+Textures, in the library. However please not that this is not the whole of
+that library but only parts which were donated to the AIcons Library.
+These are 128x128 color backgrounds which while a bit large for this
+collection are included as they are extremely useful, and great looking.
+
+These images are copyright and can not be included into any package
+without first contacting Geoff before hand.  He has provided a copyright
+notice which is included in this directory.
+
+WARNING: These images use a huge number of colors which can fill your
+color table completely. Thus leaving no colors available for other X window
+application.  As such before using them as a background pattern you may
+beed to reduce the number of colors they are using. Most of these pattern
+will still look good if you quantify the colors to say 24 or so.

+Subject: Anthony's X Icon Library
+
+Part of your package includes a number of our Desktop Textures.  Since
+we take pride in this product and hold a copyright on it, we have a
+request concerning your distribution of our work.
+
+I brought this up once before, and I appreciate your response at that
+time.  What you did at the time was include my name in your
+README.contrib file, which was better than nothing.  However, at least
+several people have found your icon library and used our textures in
+their products without even realizing that they were using
+distribution-restricted material.
+
+Our two restrictions are thus:
+
+	* We (Geoff Adams and Stephen Krauth) are fully credited as
+the creators of the textures, and our permission is granted for
+distribution.
+
+	* The textures do not wind up gracing the screens of Windows
+machines.
+
+Here at Glue, we keep the textures in a directory with a README file,
+which contains the information we wish to be distributed with the
+textures.  We would like you to include something similar in your
+distribution, *in the directory which contains the textures*, so I
+will include our README below.
+
+Thank you,
+
