In fact, this is part of the IBM distribution of AOS 4.3 Unix. However, the MIT X Consortium release 2 of X 11 will not even compile on the RT. I spent several days trying to get it working and finally went back to R1. Incomplete makefiles for the server and plenty of code in the toolkit that would not compile let me know that no one had ever tried to build X before distributing it. On the brighter side, I have been told (by people who know) that IBM is fixing release 2 and will ship it with future 4.3 releases. Generally there has been a new release of Unix about every 6 months, so there should be another one soon (just speculation on my part).
