I didnt want to quote a lot from the original article--I just wanted to say
that I was able to compile XR4 complete without a single error on my NeXT,
without any modifications other than a small set of patches that I got from
someone at UC Berkeley.  These patches create a new NeXT.cf file, change some
things in mit/utils/scripts, and one or two other things.  After applying the
patch, make World did its thing, uninterrupted.  Imake and whatever cpp the
make decided to use all worked fine.

If this magic patch is not already out there, I will compress and uuencode it
and post it in comp.sources.x.  I know of at least two versions of the
neccessary patches, because they were sent to me when I asked for them some
months ago.

I too am very interested in shared libraries on the NeXT if it is possible!
