Just to pick some nits...

The name of this software is "X386 1.2E 1.0".  Please use the correct name.
SGCS (Mark Snitily and Thomas Roell) have graciously allowed are use of this
name, even though it could cause confusion with their commercial product
(currently X386 1.3, some day X386 2.0).  Let's try very hard not to lose
this privilege.  All you need to do is remember that this offering is
derived from X386 1.2, which was distributed with MIT X11R5.

Now back to your regular programming. :->
