Yes, something similair was happened ;)

: ----- XLibs ----

: Now you will need Xlibs compiled for use with cygnus Win32. These can

:
: ftp://ftp.denic.com/pub/ports/X11R6.3/
:
: get file Wm32_X11R6_3.tar.gz 7110 KB
:

No such file or directory - tried "ls -lR" but server throw me away.

: Using the bash shell to create a /usr directory, move
: Wm32_X11R6_3.tar.gz to /usr,
: untar and install this file in /usr/X11R6.3.
: The Xlibs in this distribution are created against a patched set of
: cygnus-win32 libs. To patch your cygnus-win32 installation, change to
: the
: /usr/X11R6.3/b18-patch directory, an run update.bat. See the sergey.txt
: for details.
:

I have a Win32_X11R6_3.tar.gz but my archive doesn't contain update.bat
and sergey.txt. All the ftpsearch and altavista said - 0 match.

: MI/X form MicroImages
: /cgi-bin/exit-to?http://www.microimages.com/freestuff
:
: Free distribution, copyright by MicroImages
: 2 files getme1st.exe 332 KB
: file0001.bin 2248 KB
:
: Somewhat limited, but a free Xserver. Does not handle all athena
: widgets correctly.
:

Well, oclock working for this server, but fdesign not - error about Bad
request or something - the FAQ said I have bad display depth/resolution -
tried all possible including highest color depth for my card (24).

:
: X-WinPro
: free demo - 30 min /session limit
: /cgi-bin/exit-to?http://www.kabf.com/xwpweb/koko2.html
: file xwp.exe 4,687 KB
:
: A nice Xserver. Fairly inexpensive purchages price.
:
: Pexus Systems X-Deep/32 Version 3.0
: Free demo with session time limit, based on X11R6.1, comes with own
: Xlibs.
: Includes twm and 40 clients.
: /cgi-bin/exit-to?http://www.pexus.com
: I installed this in a seperate directory of it's own so it would not
: interefer with the X11R6.3 distribution, and then created shortcuts to
: it to start the server.
:

Will try later ...
