I've considered porting imake to our Concurrent 7100, but I don't have the
time to attempt it right now.  For the time being, I run imake on another
machine and edit the Makefile as appropriate for RTU.  If I do get around
to porting imake, I'll post a message here and make the port available.

In the meantime, if anyone beats me too it, please let me know.

On a related matter, does anyone know what release of X is included in
SP-X11?  It's obviously not a full X11R4 release, due to several missing
pieces (imake, libXext.a, several header files) and due to some older
clients (e.g. xpr).  However, my understanding was that xdm, which is
included, only came out in X11R4.  I get the impression that SP-X11 is
a bizarre hybrid of some R4 code with mostly older code.  You'd think that
at the prices Concurrent is charging for their software, they'd at least
make an attempt to keep up with the times, instead of letting their customers
go scrounging around for important programs that they never bothered to port
themselves.

Ditto for their brain-dead NFS implementation.  (Disenchanted with Concurrent?
Who?  Me?  Absolutely!)
