I retrieved  a copy  of the  XView source  from the  archives and  tried
porting it to  an Apollo (DN3500  running SR10.1), since  it's the  only
X11R3 system I  have.  However,  there is  one major problem  I have  in
completing the port.

XView defines its own "fcntl", "read", and "select" functions and  makes
use of the "syscall" facility  to get to the  real system calls.   Since
Apollo SR10.1  does not  have "syscall",  I'm stuck!   Anyone  have  any
suggestions on how to get around this problem?  If I had source code for
the system, I  could insert the  real code  in place of  syscall, but  I
don't.  Am I out of luck?
