- There could be many things going wrong. Probably one of them is that you need
- a working version 17 Lisp in order to compile version 17. We haven't released
- 17 yet, so we don't encourage outside users to work with it. I'll mail you
- some info on building from sources.

- Yes, but this is based on a C server linked with the Motif library, so it won't
- be usable unless you have Motif. Perhaps someone on the net would consider
- converting this to a PD X toolkit...
