Yes we also have that version here at North Carolina State University, but
has anyone gotten it to work correctly.  At the moment, ours will compile
and will run with some of the simpler programs (ones that do not call other
procedures that were compiled separately and linked into the executable).
Then when you try to step through the program, it says that it can't find
the file the procedure was compiled in.
Also another annoying feature is that you can click on the "file" button and
the machine will either show you the files or crash in a malloc error.
I have multiple versions of xdbx, from uunet.uu.net and the X11R4 release
tapes... all fail to work properly.  The machine that xdbx is being compiled
on is a DECstation 3100 running Ultrix 3.1d.  We are currently running the
R4 server.  Any suggestions, comments, etc. will be appreciated.
