Try CVS sources.
answer to you last comment about it will not compile under Win9x. It
should compile under Win9x, but will not run ;-)

Ohhh...
Well I'm an optimistic person. Always. :)

I won't state this unless I _thoroughly_ tested it. I'm going to dig
deeper
into it @weekend.

You seem to bet correctly.
However, this is my stupidity: I should've read *before* that X src will
NOT
compile under Win9x; WinNT/2000 ONLY.
This is what I took from the ml archives: _afterwards_, that is. ;)
But I've just finished downloading the experimental win32-xfree tree.
(_binary_ this time)
Let's see what happens.
So long, keep up the good work,
Andreas
