xforms V0.84 is now available for testing for the following platforms:
linux/i386 a.out & ELF
Sun SunOS 4.1 and Solaris 2.4
FreeBSD 3.0-current
SGI and HP versions will be made available shortly.
I'd appreciate it if you download and test this version. As
always, feedbacks are welcome.
Due to the large number of (small) changes and fixes, it is
possible that I missed a few things that were reported. Please remind
me of those that you reported but were not fixed in this version.
