Has anyone out there compiled X11.R4 (or any other version for that matter) for a sequent balance (or even a symmetry)? We are in the process of doing so, and was wondering if I could get all the setup stuff from you. -Scott Larsen larsen@mist.cs.orst.edu --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You may find after a time that having is not nearly a fine thing as wanting." - Spock

Change the Imakefile in mit/lib/xinput. I remember that I posted a correction to the above message before.
