This is probably an old and often discussed subject on this newsgroup but I
shall ask the question anyways.  I am porting X11R4 to my HP300 and 800
machines and I would like to know if there are problems, any changes that I
need to make to the source before I start.  There is a single file hp.cf in
the mit/config/ directory.  Can I use it without any problems for both kinds
of HP machines ?   My machines are both running 7.0.  Is is sufficient to
change the OSName to HP-UX 7.0 and the Major and Minor numbers appropriately
or is there more.  Also, I though I would use the Optimizer -O since the bug
in 6.5 has now been fixed.
Finally, once all this is done, can I simply go to the "make world" step.
All help/comments/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
