We have encountered (only!) two problems installing R4 on the
above-mentioned equipment, one expected and the other not.

1) The mutant industrial R2ish DECwindows server, while impressively
fast, does not fit well in our otherwise R4 shop.  Fonts in particular
are a real problem.  Where can I go for an R4 server for this beast?

2) Xterm fails to build under Ultrix 4.0.  The compiler chokes on
statements of the form

	fileno(stderr) = something;

claiming illegal lhs.  There is one such statement in each of main.c
and misc.c.  I'm not real clear on what the author is up to here so am
reluctant to just start twiddling it.  Any clues would be appreciated.
