	Not quite true.  The X11R4 server for aix ps/2 is shipped in source form
	on the MIT X11R4 distribution.  You can get a complete implementation
	of X11R3 from IBM.  All the mit clients such as uwm and xterm are
	shipped as source on the X11 samples diskettes that come with
	IBM's X11 on the PS/2.  Note that none of this is true for either
	the (AIX)RT or RS/6000, just the PS/2.
