Oh, I will probably get XS3 to work soon with NetBSD-0.9 just
not too happy with the OS. The last week or two I have
been pre-occupied with a memory leak which I traced to 
the mit code far more important than porting XS3 to 
NetBSD-0.9 (at least that is my priority).

At any rate, the X app, Xboing, which was giving me a
headache is running very well now and with sound 
from my sound blaster pro card.


Cheers,
Amancio
