Probably not - I'm a hopeless speller - but if people put it
down to British spelling that's fine by me!

  C-O-L-O-U-R
  Z is pronounced 'Zed' not 'Zee'.

Americans only say 'Zee' to make the Alphabet song rhyme. :-)

Well, that's good - but I'd like to know WHY this weird stuff happens.  If there is something
in /usr/X11R6/include that screws up some PLIB symbol, I'd like to know about it because
there will be applications programs that need to include both X11 *and* PLIB headers and we
don't want any nasty suprises!
