Use:          #include "herevents.h"
              int fd;
              fd = HerConnect()

Description:  HerConnect() returns the file descriptor on which Hermes events
              are reported and disables the normal MainLoop processing.
              This file descriptor can be used to delegate event handling
              to an external event loop, e.g., from a GUI toolkit such as Qt.
