Firstly, thanks to everybody who has mailed me with problems compiling Dirt.
I will update the tar file on expo as soon as possible.  However here is
a summary of the common problems people have found:

1) Missing header files:
	in ./Dirt/lib/Xukc/window.c: "X11/Xukc/UKCLabels.h"
		opps - this should be just "X11/Xukc/Labels.h"

	in ./Dirt/dirt_editor/file.c
	and  ./Dirt/dirt_editor/list.c : "X11/Xtos.h"
		for some reason "Xtos.h" is not included in the Imakefile
		for the Xt Intrinsics library so it does not get installed.
		I don't know whether this is a bug or not.  You can however
		safely use "Xos.h" instead.

2) obsolete "#include <memory.h>" in ./Dirt/dirt_editor/log.c
	on line 407 there is:
		#include <memory.h>
	this is not needed and you can safely remove it.

3) "object / rectangle / rect_class" undefined ./Dirt/dirt_editor/Layout.c
	If you are seeing this then I believe you have not got a
	completely patched version of the Intrinsics.  As far as I can tell
	this is due to two missing #includes in "X11/IntrinsicP.h" these were
	added in Patches 10 and 11 (Xt only patches).  Dirt will *only* work
	with the Xt Intrinsics patched upto and including Patchlevel 18.
	I believe these patches are available from the mail server at
	xstuff@expo.lcs.mit.edu

4) Getting Dirt from somewhere other than expo.lcs.mit.edu
	I am working on this one .. but if anybody else would like to
	copy the files from expo.lcs.mit.edu to another ftp site then I
	would be very grateful 8-).

Anymore problems .. please let me know.  I know there are some rough edges!
