+Editres is a tool that allows users and application developers to view
+the full widget hierarchy of any Xt Toolkit application that speaks the
+Editres protocol.  In addition, editres will help the user construct
+resource specifications, allow the user to apply the resource to
+the application and view the results dynamically.  Once the user is
+happy with a resource specification editres will append the resource
+string to the user's X Resources file.
+
+For more information on editres usage, see:
+
+  http://www.rahul.net/kenton/editres.html
+
+Editres depends on the _EresInsert<something> and
+_EresRetrieve<something> routines that are are implemented and used by
+"EditresCom.c".  Since this module is intended to be included in your
+widget library or toolkit, editres should automatically link in the
+module, but if you have not included that module into your library you
+will need to edit the makefile to make sure that editres links in this
+file.
