Imlib, Imlib is included with most linux distributions, if in doubt get it from http://www.labs.redhat.com/imlib/ PLEASE NOTE:- I have changed this url since it seems unavailable.
If you lack the required font the program will probably fail, but the font I use should be available to most linux installations. If you change it, be sure to use a fixed font of the same size :-) (this applies to reading.c only)
xtarot 1 starts with five card YES/NO spread.
xtarot 2 starts with the default ten card Celtic spread.
xtarot 3 starts with a fifteen card spread.
xtarot 4 starts with a 21 card pyramid spread.
This application has been written to accompany an Xlib tutorial, the whole idea was to produce a non-trival application for X Windows in C, without using C++, other libraries for widgets etc.
Imlib has been used due to its simple and effective features for graphic manipulation.
If I get any response to this program I may further develop it, possibly including Motif or KDE widgets for a more conventional user interface, and making card interpretation more intelligent (than simply displaying a text file)
Any problems please e-mail me at xtarot@hawklord.uklinux.net with your suggestions.
