I'm currently trying my best to do some useful work on an IBM rt running AIX
2.2.1.  I am using X11 as distributed by IBM.  The server has lots of
bugs but one in particular is a real pain.  When a menu is popped up over a
window, it leaves a black background in its place when it disappears.  I got
the latest fixes for an IBM X server from uunet.uu.net, but I can't compile 
them because of bugs in the C compiler under AIX.  

Does anyone have an executable X11 IBM RT  under AIX Server which I can
simply FTP over the Internet?

(I'm also having lots of problems compiling alloc.c in the gemacs distribution
and if this nonsense continues I think I'll just go to AOS instead.  Of 
course, I have access to an RT running AOS and I can't compile gemacs
there either for the same reason!  I'm trying the "hc" compiler now and it
does the same thing.

Maybe the rumored RT follow-on machines will be better.

Please respond to me directly since I haven't managed to get usenet setup
here yet.  Here are my addresses:
