Thanks for you reply. Let me ask try to get some things
straight to myself and ask you a few clarification questions
please.
Is it correct understanding of me that there is a working,
i.e., on cygwin-1.1.4 under Win98, X-Server available
from the contrib directory?
This server, presumably
8465407 Jun 4 14:12 X-servers-v-1.0.tar.bz2
1032745 Jun 9 23:56 X-servers-v-1.0-exe.tar.bz2
is not "interoperable" with your xfree86-4.0.1 binary
distribution available in
ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/
right?
Or is there some way of getting the server working with your
binaries?
Thanks,
/ChJ
