We received both a source and a binary tape from SGI.  I'll admit that
I haven't tried to recompile it.  The only problems we've had are that
the bell rings too long and too loudly and that when a window is
resized the client doesn't seem to get any notification.  

The performance is tolerable on our 4D80/GT, better than X11R3 +
purdue speedups our Sun-3/260C anyway.  "ico" runs fast on the 4D
because it's drawing line segments.  Rasterops like scrolling windows
are rather slow, but still very much faster than the release that came
with the previous release of Foresight.  Overall it's a big
improvement over that version.
