System name:		podge
Type and version:	KN01 7.3P
Display type:		PMAX-MFB

What were you trying to do?

	run showrgb

What's wrong:

	It is installed properly on the VAX and RT, but it is not
available on the RS/6000, and on the decmips, /usr/bin/X11/showrgb is a
symlink pointing to /usr/athena/bin/showrgb, which does not exist, and
the files /usr/lib/X11/rgb* are symlinks into ../../var.dir/X11/rgb, but
there is no /usr/var.dir, so this is also leading nowhere.

What should have happened:

	At the very least, the dangling symlinks on the decmips should
be fixed.  If showrgb can be made to work on all the platforms, that
would be good, too.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:

	None.
