I am getting a currently little used Apollo DN3000 upgraded to a
DN3500 with 350 odd megabytes of disk space.  I have a few questions
for folks on the list:

1)  With SR10, AEGIS is no longer required to run SYS V or BSD 4.3 (yeah!).
    I am considering just putting on the BSD implementation (so I can
    install BSD based programs - TN3270 for example).  Is anyone doing
    this now?  How is it?  Why didn't Apollo provide the user the option
    load BSD and SYS V together?

2)  I am also considering putting the MIT X Windows generic software on
    the 3500 (who knows when Apollo will come out with there souped up
    version and how much it would cost?).  I remember people talking about
    the changes required to make X run under SR10.  Where can I get the
    cookbook list?

3)  Is there an Apollo archive of FTPable programs?  Where is it?
