 In the XR4 docs, it says lots of stuff like this:

  But in the Errata section, it says:


>			     R4 Errata

> 9.  The IBM server does run on the RT under AIX.  It should work under AOS
>    on the RT, and under AIX on the PS/2.


   The XR4 code does not compile under RT/AIX 2.2.1. Why not?
Have those changes not been integrated into the release yet? When
will they be available?
