In the Imakefile, there is an entry DIRENT that *appears*
to be defined only for SystemV systems. Do not believe it. Comment
it out anyway. I forget whether this is in the main Imakefile or
the XtStuff Imakefile.

BTW - I also had a conflict there when the _XtWindow_h macro
in Chris's window widget was previously defined in some other
X11 (R3) header file. I changed the name of the Window widget
header file macro.

Has anyone got a real, *complete* Imakefile for xtroff so you
don't have to wade through the README's, mung the Imakefiles,
and climb through directories attempting extra makes to get
this to work for non-Suns?

For that matter, if someone has it working on a DECstation, I'd
appreciate knowing just what steps you took to get it running.
It compiles just fine, but dies in the initialization of the
troff device (or something like that). I don't have hours to spend
on xtroff...
