   I saved the changes when Jim Gettys sent them out.  You can use anonymous
FTP to get them from fnord.umiacs.umd.edu (128.8.120.3), as pub/X11R3onDS3100.
There's nothing special about the file -- it's just a copy of Jim Gettys'
diffs.  I haven't tried them.  Please don't all grab these at once, or
during normal working hours; fnord's just a Sun-3/60, and I still read my
mail there...

   If you get (from somewhere) a vanilla X11R3 server running on a
DECstation 3100, I'd sure like to hear about it.  These diffs don't let you
make the server, though they should work for the clients.  I don't think
that anyone outside of DEC knows enough about how the DECstation 3100 frame
buffer (pm) to be able to write an X server.  Maybe there will be one in
11R4.  (I don't really mind running the DECwindows X11 server, but I want to
learn how the frame buffer works, on general principles).
