	    By the way the X11R1 release works very poorly on the IBM-RT/PC.  I
    sent the source to ACIS support and they are currently working on fixes.  It
    seems that IBM got the beta X11 code working well but things broke when the
    actual realease of 4.3 came out and the "hc" compiler was changed.

Gee, last I saw, the RT version was reasonably zippy.  Perhaps by
"poorly" you mean buggy?  It is indeed the case that we had a long
string of problems with hc and ++'s.  It is believed that with the
latest hc compiler, and applying the RTSETUP patch described in the
release notes, that all should be well.  If that isn't the case, perhaps
you could elaborate?
