I would like very much to get X11R3 as obtained from MIT, to compile on my
3500 -- at least until SR10.2 comes out.

Joe Bowbeer from Apollo posted a note on Xperts about getting Apollo to
run on the 3500s. He mentioned a file included in the MIT distribution called
"apcfont.bin" which is generated from apcfont.pas, and said:

> According to Ken Krippner, simply obj2coff'ing apcfont.bin might not be

Ken Krippner was right! So, since I don't have a pascal compiler (although I am
working on it) does anyone know a way to get

(a) a new /bin/ld that will make this work or
(b) a coff version of this file
(c) anything else that might make this work.

Yes, I am also trying the hotline, but finding the right person may be hard.
As far as I can tell, this is the ONLY thing that is holding up X on my 3500s.
Please respond directly to me (I don't yet get the xpert dist) at
cbridge3 @ ua1vm.ua.edu. Your help would be much appreciated.
