I will build the new xfree server this evening, and maybe tomorrow if there is a problem with them. Sorry for not doing it earlier, but my syjet disk was bad, and moving the X source package on 720kb floppies didn't seem as a good idea. They gave me a new syjet instead of the old one, so now things seem to work again. Hope Branden get 3.3.5 package soon though. Friendly, Sven LUTHER
