I want X11R4 patch for IRIX 3.3.

The patches available via anonymous ftp to fresnel.stanford.edu should
be sufficient for compiling the client side of MIT's XV11R4
distribution under IRIX 3.3.1.

	pub/4DX/README.patches		info on patches
	pub/4DX/4DX-patch1 		for IRIX 3.2
	pub/4DX/4DX-patch2 & 4DX-patch3 for IRIX 3.3.1

Also, I've been told that some packages (KHOROS, Dirt UI, others?)
require toolkit mods present in MIT fixes 15-18.  Hence, the libraries
and include files on fresnel are now at MIT patchlevel 18.

FAQ: Only the clients & libraries can be compiled from the MIT
distribution, not the server.  You still need the X server from the
IRIX distribution tapes.  Unless you want to muck around with the
source code, you would probably be better off using the clients on the
IRIX distribution tapes, since these clients use shared libraries.
Neither the libraries provided with 3.3.1 nor the patched MIT
distribution allows the use of a shared libX11.

No guarantees.
