  Hello!

  A week ago, I have asked if it was possible to compile/run X11R6 in my
MIPS/Ultrix machines... Here is the answer:

	YES!!

  Quite easily actually. X11R6 compiled like a breeze in my machine, both
with "cc" and "gcc"... However it took about 6 hours to compile! It's 
amazing how such a complex piece of software compiled without problems...
  I guess it's just GOOD software!

  You can get X11R6 in ftp.x.org, get the xc-*.gz and optionally the contrib*.gz
tared-gziped files. (note that these files are about 10 Mb each!)
  You can also purchase X11R6 in tape or cd-rom from the X-Consorcium...
  NOTE: in my DEC machine the X11R6 is MUCH slower than the Digital provided Xws
server... unless you really need R6, it is a good idea to stick with the old R4/5
server...

	Thanks goes to (in no meaningfull order):
