   I compiled xrn on a pmax and it seems to work (mostly) fine.
   However, when trying to compile I lacked some /usr/include/X11
   headers that I subsequently grabbed from a convenient place.  These
   included Dialog.h, Box.h, Scroll.h, etc. (Athena widgets?)

Someone else mentioned the correct place to find the include files,
which I think are not installed by default.  I think the
/usr/include/mit stuff is on the 'unsupported' tape.

   In addition, there are certain operations within my xrn that are
   broken, like goto newsgroup, save article, and some others.  By
   broken I mean xrn goes off into never-never land---I think these
   operations are *supposed* to prompt the user for information.
   Perhaps the versions of the header files I snarfed don't match my
   libXaw.a???

Check config.h.  The latest version of xrn has a #define that
addresses your problem.  Popups dumped core before we did this.

Also, don't forget to set the DOMAIN and HIDDENNET stuff (unless you
create all the strange config files that xrn wants).  Otherwise, any
articles you post look like they came from Berkelely.
