They compile and work for me here on a Sun(3/160,3.4) under X11R2.  I
have gotten a core dump when exiting xman, I was going to look into
that, but it doesn't cripple the thing or anything. You also may have
to up a define in xman to accomodate large man directories, but it
just told me that on the stderr.

Under X11R1 it was uncompileable or core dumping or something but that
seems to be mostly fixed now, the problem wasn't the programs
themselves but the X Toolkit which was dying with null pointer derefs
when it tried to init. So actually it's the X Toolkit which has
improved dramatically between releases and the clients came along
for the ride.

I'll guess he's referring to the X11R1 versions, upgrade and ye
shall be saved.

BTW, Chris, *good* job on those, I really like them in the toolkit
now.
