[comp.windows.x] Sun 4.0 operating system

dhuff@AMD-29.HAC.COM (Daryl Huff) (09/07/89)

This issue has probably been beaten into the ground, but I need some
information on whether or not X11R3 runs on Sun OS 4.0.  We currently 
have X11R3 running under Sun OS 3.5 on both 3/50 and 3/150s.  We are
considering upgrading our Operating System to version 4.0 and are
wondering how hard it will be to get X-Windows running again after we 
do this.  Maybe it isn't a good idea to upgrade our OS.  If anybody out
there has gone through this process I would apperciate any insite you
could give on this issue

                                Thank You
                                Daryl Huff

RTFM.

X11 has run on 4.0 since it (and 4.0) were in alpha-test because I was an
alpha-tester for 4.0 when we did the port.
