Xinfo is broke, and we're not going to fix it. I spent an afternoon
looking at it and the sources build, but there's a widget problem. We
are trying to de-support it anyway.
Bruce knows about xtechinfo.
Xmitdir never ran on the sgi. The people with locker access are jis,
wade, hoffmann, and tom. Tom'll fix it! :-)
