In regards to the file libapc.a, I to had the problem and I found the 
answer.  It seems the the systype and the runtype for the object file
ddx/apollo/apcfont.bin which was supplied by the apollo users group was
compile in sr9.7 and therefore is not supposed to work in sr10.1.  This
can be fixed by changing this in the Imakefile or (Makefile).

apcfont.bin: apcfont.tar
	-$(RM) apcfont.bin
	tar -xvf apcfont.tar
	obj2coff apcfont.bin tmp.o
	ld -A sys,any -A run,any -r -o apcfont.bin tmp.o
	-$(RM) tmp.o

This seems to fix the problem I don't know if it really makes the code
work though.  There is also another problem with the server communications.
It seems that server want's to occasionally send out blocks of greater than
9.1K which cause the server to get an EWOULBLOCK all the time when using the
UNIX protocol and a failer errno=40 (Message to Big or something) when 
using the TCP protocol.  I have a correction for this but it is not so simple
mail me direct if you want the patch.

Now since we are propagating problems.  WHAT THE DAYLIGHTS IS WRONG WITH THE
COLOR on sr10.1 (I does wierd things)  APPOLLO If you are out there please
respond or better yet how about the APOLLO Users Group who is selling a SR10.1
version (R2) but is mum about what changes they have made.  Anybody please
I think there are a lot of APOLLO DN3000 and DN4500 out there that would
like a responce.  Thanks.
