We're hoping to update expo in about four weeks.  This will be equivalent
to the R4 donation.

The most major change will be the expansion of XView semantic event
structure to include the XEvent that caused the semantic event.  New
semantic VUID-type events will be added for the XEvent types not previously
exposed.

Yes, there is a generic SVR4 port that is part of SVR4 from AT&T
and there is also a SVR3.2 port in the works.

I'd suggest waiting a few more weeks until we update EXPO with the R4
donation.  I couldn't find any mail from you about your wait3() hack in
our xviewbugs@sun.com mail archive.  Please forward that hack and we'll
see if we can find an acceptable work-around.  Thanks!
