The following is the original readme:

This is xzoom 0.3.

I got a few letters from people who tried xzoom-0.1. I want to thank all these people for the responses. Some people have requested to add features. Some also suggested their own contribution. I am sory that I could not satisfy all. I will try to do so in the next releases.

What's changed since release 0.1:

Mainly I added command line options. With these you can start xzoom and focus at any point in the screen and at any magnification which you want. Look at the man page for details.

A second thing that you might have noticed is a memory leak in 0.1 (funny, I did not get any mail about it). As I finally found, the leak was due to some X events queing up and not discarded. Finally I found the documentation for XSHM in the X11R6 CDROM (disk 2, file distrib/xc/doc/specs/Xext/mit-shm.ms). The MS macros came from the BSD cdrom and with that help I could find the bug and fix it.

Plese send comments, requests, suggestions to nahshon@best.com.
