-* xforms frontend
-
-Both an Xforms and Xpm libraries should be installed to compile LyX.
-It is imperative that you have the correct versions of these
-libraries, and their associated header files.
-
-The xforms library has been very recently updated to version 1.0.
-This version has been released under the LGPL (Lesser General Public
-License), and the availability of the source means that many bugs that
-have been plaguing LyX have been fixed in xforms. You are advised to
-upgrade to xforms 1.0 to enjoy all these new fixes.
-In fact, LyX 1.4.x no longer supports versions of xforms older than 1.0.
-
-You can get the source from
-       http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/xforms/
-
-If you use a rpm-based linux distribution, such as RedHat or Mandrake,
-we recommend that you grab a version of xforms from
-       ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib
-Look for the xforms-1.0-release.src.rpm or the binary libforms*.i386.rpm.
-
-In addition, you must have libXpm version 4.7 or newer.
