I just installed ACIS 4.3 on my machine and am having some problems
with XV10R4 (NOTE: This is not the X that comes with the 4.3 tape and
that ACIS provides mods for with their distribution).  Specifically:

- compilation with the Metaware High C compiler doesn't work.
  1. libibm/libsrc/bitblt_subr.c is apparently too complex for HC.
  2. when mixing HC and PCC-compiled object (e.g. to get around problem
     #1), the X display server (apa16) draws skewed lines rather than
     a proper rubber-band box rectangle when I try to run xterm.

- Xapa16 dumps core when built completely with PCC.  This same release
  of X used to work under ACIS 4.2.  It "greys" the display and puts
  up a proper X cursor but then croaks shortly after starting xterm.
  A single horizontal line appears where the rubber-band box should be
  and then any mouse motion blows it away.

- Ed Moy's 6.6B xterm doesn't cause anything at all to display.  I never
  had this one working (was using 6.6A) under ACIS 4.2, so....

Any suggestions or diffs would be greatly appreciated.
