I'm not sure what an Indigo-2 with "XA" graphics might be; could that be
XZ or XL?  In any case, running geomview on an Indigo should be much better
than on an RS/6000, since it can take advantage of whatever hardware graphics
support the Indigo has, but can't take any special advantage of the RS/6000.

Geomview has been installed on some RS/6000's, but I don't know exactly
on which hardware/operating-system combinations.  It does seem to work
in most cases, though some people have told us of problems with mismatched
shared libraries.
