I never tested xmon on a V3.x system. As distributed it
has a V4_ULTRIX define in the Makefile that should be
taken out. Upon trying to use it, I've noticed that you
may have to explicitly specify "save" mode to get it to
write the monitor data to stdout.
Finally, once I did all this, I still couldn't get xmon to
display anything. In spending a couple of moments to think
about it, I realized that in "save" mode, monitor only collects
sample every 10 minutes. Xmon doesn't display anything until
it has the 2nd sample. So, to get it work in general:
monitor mon save -sleep 2 -file - | xmon
This worked on a V3.1 VAXstation and a V4.1 DECstation 3100.

Looks like everybody will have the same problem, but I'll
mail you a copy of this.
