	    init.c does not want to compile.  Is it not complete?  Where
    is the structure DEVICE?  If init.c is not complete, what doucmentation
    tells me how to tailor it to my machine?

mfb/init.c is an unused file.  If you used make, or consulted the
Makefile, you would know to not worry about it, yes?

	    In mfbclip.c, line 106 and 138, a call is made to the macro
    SCRLFT (shift bits left), but its return value is not used.  My compiler
    produces the warning:  "Code has no effect."  Are you sure you intended
    this call?

The statement I see is:

		w = SCRLEFT(w, 1);

It does not call "SCRLFT", and the return value is used in beta-2.
Apparently you are still using beta-1 sources.  Install the beta-2
sources, and *please* don't submit any more mail based on beta-1
sources.  If your contact hasn't received the beta-2 update, let us
know.

	    mfbclip.c does not want to compile.  Where is the structure
    DRAWABLE declared?  It's used all over the place, but I can not find
    any declaration anywhere in the X release.  Help!

I cannot find a use of DRAWABLE in mfbclip.c.  I can find it in a few
mfb files that are not compiled by the Makefile, but you should just
ignore those.

PLEASE NOTE: vague, imprecise statements such as you are submitting
waste valuable time and energy.  DON'T give us things like "used all
over the place", point us at a specific file and a specific context, and
include the source fragment in your message.

I think we've said this before, but *PLEASE* don't
post X11-beta concerns to xpert.  Most of the people
who read that won't have the slightest idea of what
you are talking about, and the people you do want
to address probably aren't paying attention to things
on that list.  If you want to reach a wide audience,
send to xbeta-sites, but *not* to xpert.  Thank you
in advance for your future cooperation in this matter.
