	I apologize if this question has been asked recently and I missed
it.  I tend to work on a variety of computers that all have some version
of X11 available.  Can someone suggest an easy way to figure out what
version a machine is running (R3 or R4, for instance) and what patchlevel
it's at.  Some of these machines have vendor supplied X11, and thus the
source code (with patch file details) is not available.  In other words,
is there an include file I can look at, a shell script I can run, or
a short C program that can be used to determine version and patchlevel.
[BTW - It would also be nice to be able to figure out what version of
Motif is there, again, assuming so source code is available].
	Thanks to all who reply.

regards,
