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.
