- The latest released version of xrn is 6.17, and you can get it from
- ic.berkeley.edu. It builds essentially right out of the box on SGI
- machines with Irix 4.0 or later (you need to change config.h to put in
- your organization name). Just remember to use /usr/bin/X11/xmkmf
- to build the Makefile.
