Recently I tried pulling off the xview sources from gatekeeper.dec.com,
and eventually figured out how they had broken up the files there...
(Same way with giza.cis.ohio-state.edu)  After I finally got the files
through tar, I went through the painstaking bit by bit task of taking
apart almost every single Makefile to re-create something that actually
worked.  Come on, guys, a 10,000 character Makefile for one .c file???

This has got to be crazy.  Then I went ahead and compiled the files,
finally got the files to work properly, only to now find out after
I finish the whole thing that I have to dig up (No docs) the exact
place of the fonts and properly "rewrite" some of the code to get it
to work.  Has ANYONE compiled this yet, and if so, did you have the
same number of headaches?  

I just have a few questions...Does anyone know where to get the imake
sources?  Has anyone compiled this for a Sparcstation or Sun 3/60?`
And do you know if these programs actually work?  (If you do have 
the proper sources already sorted through so that they compile 
without hitches, do you have an anonymous ftp site?)

Sorry to waste the bandwidth, guys, but I just spent 24 hours trying
to get this to work.

One other last question ... Where are the MH sources kept? (As in,
for xmh)?
