I just finished building T. Roell's port of Xview 2.0 for X386 v1.1.
I have noticed quite a few bugs in this port. Is this due to:
	1) A problem on my part (I'm using ISC 2.2, gcc 1.39)
	2) An incomplete port (I realize it's a lot of work!)
	3) Bugs in Xview 2.0

The biggest problems so far are:
1) code in the xview library wasn't handling meta modifiers
   properly so I couldn't use the quick key combinations in textedit.
2) cmdtool is flakey unless you turn off scrollbars.
3) cmdtool uses pts and thus dosn't seem to support TIOCWINSIZE or
   job control.

Anybody using xview under X386 on a day to day basis?
