I have just posted the seven (7) part VMS_SHARE patch kit to upgrade the
current Unix version of XV (v2.21) to VMS DECWindows or Motif to
vmsnet.sources.  It will also slip in the "a" patch which was causing
MANY problems with root window operations on other platforms.

Officially, XV has not changed from it's 29-Apr-92 release (v2.21) but
the version at the main site (export.lcs.mit.edu) was apparently changed
recently (25-Sep-92) and the pre-existing VMS patch kits seemed to be
having problems.  From the several volunteer testers for this patch kit,
it works with the version from export IF you are using a newer VAX C.  I
only have v3.2-044 available to me.  Users of v2.4 have been
experiencing problems.  I don't know how many version releases lie
between these two, but if you have any problems check into this first...

As always, please report any bugs/problems to me.

I would also like to note that most of the VMS code changes to XV are due
to the wonderful work of David Jones (jonesd@kcgl1.eng.ohio-state.edu).
