- This is a non-sequitor. Neither of those files comes with the
- compiler. What you're probably seeing is that one of those systems
- was running vanilla DECwindows and the other was running Motif. The
- former is based of X11R3 and the latter on X11R4. The version of VAX C
- is totally unrelated. You might try asking the X Consortium at MIT what
- their criteria for changes are. (The answer, if any, will probably
- mention that both editions of the those files are years out of date. :-)
