With regard to Sun fonts under X11.

there is a program in util/vtobdf which translates Sun fonts to BDF format.
I managed to convert most of the sun fonts, although it barfed on a few.

I'll add a couple of gripes: the Apollo distribution is very hard to
installed. This is primaily the fault of Apollo.

	+ /usr/lib/cpp has great difficulty with long lines. When you
	  do a 'make Makefiles' it will chop long lines into several
	  lines. I eventually did the makefiles on a Sun & shipped them
	  over

	+ in util/imake.includes/Apllo.macros, there is a define:

	#define Xapollo Xapollo

	this should really be:

	#define XapolloServer Xapollo

If a special versiono f CPP is being used, it'd be nice to include it in
the distribution -- these aren't my Apollos & I'm not certain what rev their
software is, but I know that they're not too old -- one would expect the
distribution to come up on a stock system.

BUT! I'm not whinning -- love them X11's. Keep up the work! Rah. Go team.
(after all, they did admit it was a beta version)
