David Williams (dlw@hpda.HP.COM) sez:
 Just to let you know we've been trying with various degrees of success to 
 compile and run xfig. It appears to be geared towards monochrome monitors and
 since we have a higher percentage of color monitors it bombs left and right..

Yep.

I have patched xfig to work on my QDSS, and as an added bonus, you get
reverse video support.

There are still a couple problems with ruler arrow colors, but that's
minor compared to what used to be there.
This support implicitly assumes a PseudoColor Visual type, but that may
be fixed someday too....

Anonymous ftp only (sorry, uucp land) to LYCUS.MIT.EDU, and pick up
~ftp/pub/xfig.tar.Z (compressed BSD tar). [lycus is 18.72.0.141]
