- A slight error I believe, OW 3 has imake and xmkmf:
-
- eos95 ~ 2 > ls /usr/openwin/bin/{xmkmf,imake}
- -rwxrwxr-x 1 bin 16948 Feb 5 1992 /usr/openwin/bin/imake*
- -rwxrwxr-x 1 bin 698 Feb 5 1992 /usr/openwin/bin/xmkmf*
- eos95 ~ 3 > uname -a
- SunOS eos95 5.0 Beta sun4c sparc
-
- It is, I believe, broken but it is there. As to the rest I heartily
- agree, along with the added performance that X11 gives.
