Very Computer

   I'm thinking about upgrading my linux 1.1.74 XF86 2.1 system
   with XF86 3.1.

   Before I begin this trial, can anyone tell me if I will need to
   have versions of my X apps which were compiled with X11R6 or
   will the apps compiled with X11R5 still work?

   THanks, Shawn.

You will still need your Xfree86 2.1 shared libraries.  The
safest way to upgrade is to grab the Slackware 2.10 X-disk
set (13 disks, collect them all!) from ftp.cdrom.com.  This includes
the X11R5 and X11R6 shared libraries, along with other
enhancements.  X11R5 apps run just fine on the new server.
