Question #0: What is the correct name of this software?

Answer #0: X386 1.2E 1.0.1.  That's

Please get the name right.  X386 1.2 is the X11R5 offering; we have
enhanced it, yielding X386 1.2E.  Our first version was 1.0, with a quick
update to stay in sync with MIT resulting in 1.0.1.  Hence the full name
'X386 1.2E 1.0.1'.

For the hopelessly humor impaired: :->
