Well, I just recently got fed up with not being able 
to compile any X11 software on our HP 9000 (series 350
running HPUX 6.2 and X11 Windows provided by HP) so
I decided to get the X11R3 release from MIT and try
compiling and installing it on our machine. Lo and 
behold, the compilation went down without a hitch.
HOWEVER, when I tried running 'make install', I got the 
unpleasant (to say the very least, after 4 hours of
compilation) surprise (yeah, I know, I should have looked more
carefully) that X11R3 required (at least as defined 
in the hpux.macros file) a BSD-compatible 'install' program
which in this case was called 'bsdinstall'. What I want to
know is where to get this program (if it is available 
anywhere) or, failing this, suggestions on how to remedy
this sorry state of affairs with a minimum amount of 
hard labor. 

	Thanks in advance to any kind soul with useful
suggestions,


P.S.: No I don't want to wait for HPUX 7.0 which is supposed
      to include X11R3 because of time considerations and also
      because our software upgrade contract ran out a short 
      while ago.
