While switching my IBM RT from 4.3 BSD to AIX, I found a problem with
the X-Windows that IBM supports.  I wish to use the Xfonts that are supplied
with X11R3, but their filenames are larger than the SYSV maximum lengths.
There is the same problem with some of the include files, making porting
very hard.

Has anyone experienced this problem and found a solution, besides renaming
the files?

Thanks for any information you can relate.
