Before the net fills with R3 traffic, I'd like to take the opportunity
to thank the staff at MIT that made R3 possible:
Jim Fulton
Keith Packard
Ralph Swick (Project Athena)
Donna Converse (joined us recently, just in time)
Michelle Leger
They worked 'round the clock for a long time to make this release
build and run cleanly on the half dozen or more different systems we
use here, and they hardly ever complained about the leg irons. I
think they've done an outstanding job, considering all the obstacles
in their way (I sure wish companies would start using the X release to
QA their compilers and utilities). If they're a little slow in
responding over the next week or so, either they're off taking a
well-deserved rest, or else the switchover to the new MIT phone system
has happily left us cut off from the universe for a while.jdi@sparky.UUCP (John Irwin) (10/28/88)

Well, on a Sun4 it has a small botch and a core dump (which I'm sure they'll
hear about a hundred times), but it compiles and runs in less than 2 hours!
As a software vendor we know how difficult it is to distribute software that
works on many machines/operating systems. (Very, believe it. :-)
Congratulations to the crew of project Athena and everyone else who made R3
a reality!

I would like to thank B Chen for the suggestion on sources that
have documentation for X10 to X11 conversion.
Chen I could not get mail over to you, so I thank you here.
Thanx again
