    Does the directory `/usr/man/man1' exist? Is it actually a directory
    or is it just a file?

    In any case, you should be using the Open Source distribution of
    XForms. The binary distributions will no longer be maintained and
    will probably eventually be removed.

    See

            ftp://ncmir.ucsd.edu/pub/xforms/OpenSource

    Oh, and stand by for version 1.0 -- with luck and a tail wind it
    should be available later on today as a release candidate.
