If you want to display xlispstat on a DECstation running ULTRIX 4.0 you may
run into the following problems:

	On monochrome 3100's plot-points produces strange-looking symbols.

	On greyscale 5000's (and possibly other DECstations) exiting
	from xlispstat causes an infinite loop of error messages.

	Under the dxwm window manager modal dialogs do not appear.

The first two appear to be due to bugs in the X servers. The third may
be related to the fact that dxwm is not fully ICCCM-compliant.

I have placed patches to work around these problems in the anonymous ftp
directory on umnstat.stat.umn.edu (128.101.51.1) and they have also been
posted to statlib. To obtain the patches by anonymous ftp, ftp to umnstat,
cd to pub/xlispstat, and get the file

	ultrixpatch.shar

To obtain the patch from statlib, send mail to statlib@lib.stat.cmu.edu
with the line

	send dec40 from xlispstat
