Hi Ralf:

I guess you are right. Do you know where I can learn how to install the
XEmacs package? I actually tried that first, but I couldn't figure it
out. So, I decided to have a go at the source not realizing that it
would be so difficult. Surely, there must be other Solaris x86 shops
that have installed from source... Well, at least if they have problems,
they will see this thread now.
