I'm trying to get Xtrek 6.0 to work under OpenWindows 1.0.1
on a SparcStation1+ SunOS4.1 and am running into the following
problems.

1) bdftosnf is not supplied.
   I found an old copy on an old Xwindows tape and got it working
2) imake is not supplied
   I found an old copy on an old Xwindows tape, got it to compile
   but it wants a "configuration file" for the sun which I havn't
   a clue how to set up!! (I manually cludged the Makefiles yuch!!)
3) mkfontdir is not supplied
   I found an old copy on an old Xwindows tape, munged the Makefile
   but it wants Xmu/libXmu.a which is not supplied
4) libXmu.a is not supplied
   I found a listing of my old Xwindows tape and found the Xmu directory
   but my tape was so old it failed to retrieve the directory
5) I compiled the xtrek/xtrekd pair after much Makefile hacking (see 2 above)
   but when I run xtrek, xtrekd dies with the following message;

>  shappy [/usr/local/games/xtrek] {{32}}% xtrek shappy
>  Adding player 0 on `shappy:0'.
>  X Error:  
>    Request Major code 249 ()
>    Request Minor code
>    ResourceID 0x8
>    Error Serial #46
>    Current Serial #46
>  [1]  + Exit 1               xtrekd
>  shappy [/usr/local/games/xtrek] {{33}}%

   which is the same message that Xtrek 5.4 died with (I was about to post
   a help request for that version when 6.0 appeared).

I could ftp the missing bits if I knew where they were but would
rather not ftp the whole Xwindows distribution (2400 baud SLIP connect
to the internet!!). Anyone know a) what I'm missing that would help,
b) do I need Xmu or is it supported in some obscure OpenWindows library
c) best way to bring up imake on my setup, d) what the obscure resource
error is (above) and how I might track it on my own (next time) and
e) are there other questions I should be asking in order to bring up Xtrek.
