I am the author of these programs.  It is quite possible that they do
not compile or run flawlessly on the sun machines, as I wrote them on
a vax and had no Sun to test them on.  If anyone out there would like
to put a bit of work into debugging them on those platforms, I would
be more than willing to give what help I can.

BTW: How do you know they constantly dump core if you cannot compile them. :-)

They compile and work for me here on a Sun(3/160,3.4) under X11R2.  I
have gotten a core dump when exiting xman, I was going to look into
that, but it doesn't cripple the thing or anything. You also may have
to up a define in xman to accomodate large man directories, but it
just told me that on the stderr.

Under X11R1 it was uncompileable or core dumping or something but that
seems to be mostly fixed now, the problem wasn't the programs
themselves but the X Toolkit which was dying with null pointer derefs
when it tried to init. So actually it's the X Toolkit which has
improved dramatically between releases and the clients came along
for the ride.

I'll guess he's referring to the X11R1 versions, upgrade and ye
shall be saved.

BTW, Chris, *good* job on those, I really like them in the toolkit
now.

My apologies for the cut.  Its actually a pretty flashy interface even
on sun although the "popup" menus are a real bother.  The new
"dynamic" scrollbars are a lot of fun and quite useful. (Compiles on
sun, dumps frequently, feels like an uninitialized variable although a
null pointer reference might feel the same.  (I'll check it out when I
can recompile -g). Text widget does not compile on sequent, the very
long string constants, (several pages), choke their compiler.)
