What a surprise! A major problem is making the makefiles. Imake uses cpp
and DOMAIN/IX cpp misbehaves (of course).

Seems that once you have all the makefiles, the problem is a
client/server communication problem. Start a client and it hangs
waiting for the Xapollo server (which is sleeping in the background).
Has anyone managed to get this beast working under SR9.7 yet ?
