- I have had problems: mailtool crashes when attempting to use my display,
- however all of the standard X stuff works, both from a Sun and an RS-6000. I
- haven't tried the SGI yet.

- I think this is a little optimistic. I wound up getting help from our IBM rep,
- as the straight install didn't work. I could now probably do it in an hour or
- 2, but only because I've now read ALL of the readme files, and have done it
- before. The install _program_ does not complete the job, and you need to move
- some files around by hand. (as in the TCP/IP drivers.)
