1127656	Patch 100899-01 causes problems for dbx

INSTALL:  
        !! Exit from openwindows !!
        su to the root account, and ensure that
        your OPENWINHOME environment variable is correctly set (usually
        to /usr/openwin).
	define PATCHDIR to point the patched directory.

        Then move the following original files using the following
        commands :-

        mv $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.a $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.a.fcs
        mv $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11_p.a $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11_p.a.fcs
        mv $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.sa.4.3 $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.sa.4.3.fcs
        mv $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.so.4.3 $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.so.4.3.fcs

        Install the new patch files into place using the following commands :-

        cp $PATCHDIR/sun4/libX11.a $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.a
        cp $PATCHDIR/sun4/libX11_p.a $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11_p.a
        cp $PATCHDIR/sun4/libX11.sa.4.3 $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.sa.4.3
        cp $PATCHDIR/sun4/libX11.so.4.3 $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.so.4.3 

        Now set the time stamps in the library files just installed using the commands

        ranlib -t $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.a
        ranlib -t $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11_p.a
        ranlib -t $OPENWINHOME/lib/libX11.sa.4.3

NOTE:

	This patched Xlib has a new resource that controls whether or
	not the modeswitch key applies to the keypad keys.
	The name of the resource is "OpenWindows.ApplyModeSwitchToAll"
	The default is "true".

	To use this Xlib with a Japanese keyboard or if you simply want to revert
	to the original behavior add the following line to your .Xdefaults file

	OpenWindows.ApplyModeSwitchToAll: False
