[Man!  Finally got caught up enough to start reading news again.  What a
mess.  Oh well, only 1200 more articles in comp.windows.x ...]

| [Lee describes a problem he has with V11R3 xterm clients and V11R3 server:
| ``The bottoms of each line get shaved off and the margins of the window
| are placed wrong - making it very hard to read the display.'']

  I run into exactly the same problem if I try to use a V11R2 xterm
client and my V11R3 server.  Is there some slight differentce in the font
information passed between clients and servers between R2 and R3?

	My server happens to be:
		Sun 3/50 or 3/60 running Sun OS 3.5
		X11.3 with patches 1 through 8 and Purdue+ 2.1
	Tested clients:
		VAX 8650 and CCI Power 6 running 4.3BSD-Tahoe
