Hi!

Not being in the know of the X-protocol niceties, I post this question
even though it may sound dumb.

I have just received a X-terminal equiped with a Release 3 server.
Also I have heaps of sources for R3 and R4. So far so good.
Unfortunatly The libraries that go with the host are still R2!
So the logical thing to do is to port the libs and clients for a higher
release version.

Only I can't seem to get the R3 sources anymore, only R4.
What will happen if manage to get libs and clients compiled and running
and then try to run them on my X-terminal?

Worst case would be "it won't run at all", of course, best case if I'm lucky
that at least *most* of the stuff would run.

Any hints?

Thanks
Mike
