So far so good. One of the problems with SunOS3.5 is that the organization
of the pixrect header files seems to be slightly different from SunOS4.0.
Consequently, compiling XView fails because certain #define's and external's
are not #include'd (although they are there somewhere in
/usr/include/pixrect, just not in the files that were included, directly
or indirectly).

Of course one could install the pixrect headers from the
XView distribution, but that would not only waste space, it also leaves you
with two different version of essentially the same thing installed on your
system, which is confusing at best.

Any suggestions from the Sun (or other) people?
