- We have both versions on the system and sometimes we want to run stuff
- that runs in X11R4 but we can't because the links (/usr/lib/X11,
- /usr/bin/X11, etc.) all point to the X11R5 directory. There should
- be an env var like X11HOME that can be set or something like it.
-
- The only other way is for me to call the SA and have him change the
- damn links. And let me tell you, he doesn't like changing links
- twice a day. We've thought about a script file, but that would violate
- some SA rules about running scripts with setuid.
-
- We can't convert the X11R4 apps because they're third party.

- HELP!!!!!!!!!
