Some time back I posted a request concerning the availability of 
XView on the IRIS - there was only one response (sufficient).

The request was:

>I'm interested in knowing whether anyone has successfully built the 
>XView tool kit on the IRIS, commercial products included.

The response from Tom Weinstein of SGI was:

>I was able to make XView compile. It was really really hairy, [...].
>I still haven't gotten the text subwindow and tty subwindow stuff to 
>work because Sun's portable" code isn't.  All of the tty stuff, at 
>least, may require a nearly total rewrite.

Thank you,
