For everyone's information, I was asked to not include the kernel binary in the kit - this to avoid potential binary redistribution concerns by AT&T - so you had to build some crucial part yourself. In spite of the "X11.r2-only support", we do want you to use later versions if you choose to (after all, in quality terms, r2 << r3 < r4), and so the 6152 X-server kit was intended to allow you to make your own selection. This may be a contributing factor. I'd like to get this resolved so send me your problems, with as much detail as you can. Thanks in advance to Joe Greco (Wisconsin at Milwaukee), Lowell Schulmen (IBM at CUNY), and of course, Bill Webb (IBM at Palo Alto), who created the package. #include Eric Brunner, Consultant, IBM AWD Palo Alto (415) 855-4486 inet: brunner@monet.berkeley.edu uucp: uunet!ibmsupt!brunner trying to understand multiprocessing is like having bees live inside your head.
