OK, I've lost count how many times this FAQ's been asked, but...

Check out our HP-UX archive, ftp.csc.liv.ac.uk [128.253.42.172]. The two
packages you want are:

/hpux/X11/imake-4.00.tar.Z    (Imake for X11R4 with associated scripts)
/hpux/X11/Xaw-4.00.tar.Z      (Xaw and Xmu X11R4 header files)

Follow the instructions in those 2 packages carefully (it's very easy to
install actually) and you should then be able to get the rest of our goodies
from the Archive and compile them with no problem.

I like to think our solution is reasonably elegant (uses HP's X11R4 libraries
and doesn't need the MIT X11R4 source tree at all). Of course, HP should have
supplied what we do in those two packages above with HP-UX 8.0, but that
goes without saying...
