	I think we went through this one a while back, but just to clarify,
R4 does not have support for AIX 2.2* on the RT.  The RT is only supported in
R4 when it runs AOS/ACIS 4.3.

	The confusion stems from the fact that the CLIENTS were built and will
work on AIX 2.2*, but the server won't.

	So, to sum it up, R4 will build and run on AIX PS/2 (1.1 or 1.2), and
on the RT running AOS 4.3.  The clients may build and run on various other
machines and OS's, but the servers are only known to run on the two 
aforementioned platforms.

	Sorry that that's the answer, but I hope it clears things up.
