X11R4 with shared libraries for A/UX 2.0 available

[John Coolidge]

I'm happy to announce that my port of X11R4 to A/UX 2.0, complete with
shared libraries for libs X11, Xt, Xaw, and Xmu, is now available from
wuarchive.wustl.edu in the directory /archive/systems/aux/X11R4 (from
ftp: systems/aux/X11R4).

This is what I consider a "beta-quality" release: I've test-run all
the clients, and they all appear to run, but I expect some hidden
problems to crop up. I'll be fielding bug reports and trying to track
down lingering problems and in a week or two will put out another
release. On the other hand, it seems to be quite stable as-is and I
encourage everyone to give it a try. The source patches will be
forthcoming as soon as I get the code cleaned up and make them :-).

The entire distribution consists of six tar files:

          Xbin.tar.Z     -- 2.5M (5M uncompressed)
          Xfonts.tar     -- 2.9M
          Xinclude.tar.Z -- 280K (1M uncompressed)
          Xlib.tar.Z     -- 1M   (3.5M uncompressed)
          Xman.tar       -- 1.3M
          Xmisc.tar.Z    -- 99K  (250K uncompressed)

plus installation instructions (in the file XREADME).

Enjoy!, and please send me problem reports so that I can fix whatever
bugs are still around (and please don't send me bugs that are in the
X code itself; I'll let MIT fix those :-)).
