	The explanation is that I only tested building the code
under SunOS 4.0 and later. Apparently earlier versions of the OS
do not define these symbols. A work-around for compiling under SunOS 3x
was posted as part of the Post-R4 Errata from MIT:


13.  If you are building the server on an old SunOS (e.g. 3.5), you will have
     to add the following defines to mit/server/ddx/sun/sunCG3C.c to get it
     to compile:

	#define CG3AC_MONOLEN (128*1024)
	#define CG3AC_ENBLEN  CG3AC_MONOLEN
	#define CG3BC_MONOLEN CG3AC_MONOLEN
	#define CG3BC_ENBLEN  CG3AC_MONOLEN
