Anyone got Xview to work on 386bsd?  I'm having problems with the file
src/xview/lib/libxview/textsw/txt_again.c.  It seems that this file
needs some modification in order to be compiled with gcc.  I finally
go it to compile and run, but the applications only appear for a few
seconds before dying with error messages : 

(while running clock)
Xview warning: Notifier error: Bad file number 

(while running cmdtool)
XView warning: Error when setting locale category LC_MESSAGES (Server package)
System warning: No such file or directory, extras menu file 
/usr/lib/.text_extras_menu (Textsw package) make sure that you can write 
/etc/utmp!
ttysw_sigwinch, can't get tty process group: Inappropriate ioctl for device
XView warning: Notifier error: Bad file number

If you know how to fix this, please email me.  Thanx!
