First of all thanks to all the people that sent me copies of XDisplayName. I finally got the new xterm to run on the RT PC under ACIS 4.2 and X10R3. I got it to work by using pcc instead of hc (High C). When compiled with High C, xterm dumps core. When compiled with pcc, everything runs just fine. -- Marco USC-ACSC

I haven't had time to really look into why xterm core dumps under hc, mainly because it isn't compatible with dbx and I can't and won't use the assembly language debugger (a major problem with RISC machines in my mind). When we tried it, hc would blow up trying to compile the RT server from Brown. Even compiling simplier things like bib86 didn't work. So we are using pcc exclusively now, until hc settles down.

Strange. We had no problems with the X10.4 xterm compiled under hc, though there were some minor changes necessary to get it to comile. > When we tried it, hc would blow up trying to compile the RT server from > Brown.

The Brown X server code used macros that expanded into lines too long for hc to handle. This (and some other problems) have been fixed and should be in later versions of hc.
