       Hi,

       I am trying to install the X.V10R4 distribution tape from MIT  on
       my Apollo DN3000 node running SR9.2.5.   I have compiled all  the
       code and even tested the Apollo server (Xapollo) and it seems  to
       work correctly.  I get the background with the X cursor.

       The problem  I  have,  is  the "README"  file  in  the  libapollo
       directory says (quote):

> In addition, xterm must be loaded with a version of termcap that does not 
> invoke the vtserver when tgetent() is called for an ansi terminal.  The 
> standard Domain/IX termcap does display this behavior, and it causes xterm to

       It seems that xterm does  indeed hang when I  try to run it,  but
       there is no termcap.c  file included in  the distribution and  no
       mention of how  to get one.   Does  anyone have a  copy that  you
       could send to me?

       I would also be  very interested in  comparing notes with  anyone
       else installing X on Apollo (what  changes did you have to  make,
       etc.).  If you are interested please e-mail or call.
