The R5-based OW suites still seem weird to me. The xmkmf/imake included with them still doesn't seem to work for me. I ran MIT/X Consortium X under SunOS4, and I run MIT/XC X under SunOS 5. If anything, it's slightly *worse* under SunOS 5 because neither sessreg/xterm -ls nor resize seem to work correctly. >I used to prefer BSD. But I now think that part of the mess Unix is in >(BSD signal() vs SV signal(), sigvec vs sigaction) Not to mention the various flavors of regexp suites. Grrrrrr.
