A couple of months ago I tried to get X11R5 working on our RTs which run
the last update of AOS 4.3. It appeared from the R5 release notes and from
comments in some config files that AOS is not supported under R5 but I tried
anyway. 

After a couple of failed attempts I asked for help in this newgroup. I got a
few suggestions that helped the "make World" get a little farther along than
before and I found out about two versions of an R5 server for RTs. But I was
never able to successfully compile the R5 clients, let alone the servers, and
I eventually gave up.

Now I am ready to try again. But first I'd like to know if anyone has actually
succeeded in compiling the X11R5 clients (or one of the servers) for an RT
running AOS. If so, I'd sure like to know how you did it.

Binaries might be of some use but I really need sources because we have a lot
of local mods that I need to incorporate.

I have been monitoring this group for a while and have seen several postings
about X11R5 under AIX. But if there have been any lately about X11R5/AOS I
missed them.
