 I have just installed X11.3 on my Apollo DN3000 workstation.
 At the moment I'm still working under SR9.7.
 Guess what, it doesn't work. So now I have two questions:

 1. the problem seems to be that the server cannot find the fonts
    (in particular it complains about the cursor and fixed fonts).
    I've checked the configuration several times but I
    cannot locate the problem. What is the trouble???
 2. I found a Pascal file in directory server/ddx/apollo/apc :
    `apcfont.pas'. (Why a Pascal source file when all the rest of
    the stuff in written in C??). The corresponding apcfont.bin
    file is delivered also, in a tar archive. How very peculiar:
    the first thing make does is extracting this bin file from
    the archive instead of compiling it.
    Who has an explanation for all this?

 Thanks for your help.
