  <H2><A NAME="1"></A>1. What and Where is XFree86?</H2>
<p>XFree86 is a port of X11R6.3 that supports several versions of
Intel-based Unix.  It is derived from X386 1.2, which was the X server
distributed with X11R5.  This release consists of many new features
and performance improvements as well as many bug fixes.  The release
is available as source patches against the X Consortium X11R6.3 code, as
well as binary distributions for many architectures.</p>
<p>See the Copyright Notice in <A href="COPYRIGHT.html">Copyright Notice</A>.</p>
<p>The sources for XFree86 are available by anonymous ftp from:</p>
<p><A href="ftp://ftp.XFree86.org/pub/XFree86/current">ftp://ftp.XFree86.org/pub/XFree86/current</A></p>
<p>Binaries of XFree86 for LynxOS AT are available from:</p>
<p><A href="ftp://ftp.XFree86.org/pub/XFree86/current/binaries/LynxOS">ftp://ftp.XFree86.org/pub/XFree86/current/binaries/LynxOS</A></p>
<p>The binaries were built on `LynxOS x86 3.0.1'. Because of changes
made to the object format they don't run on LynxOS versions earlier
than 3.0.0.</p>
<p>Building of this XFree86 version has never been tested on LynxOS versions
earlier than 2.4.0. Binaries built on LynxOS 2.4.0 are expected to run
on 2.3.0 as well.</p>
<p>XFree86 supports LynxOS on the AT, on the microSPARC and
on the PowerPC platform. X servers are currently available on
the AT and microSPARC platform. Refer to section 
<A HREF="LynxOS7.html#others">Building on microSPARC and PowerPC</A> for details on XFree86
on the non-AT platforms.</p>
<p>If you need binaries for other platforms than the one on the
XFree86 FTP server contact me (<A href="mailto:tmueller@sysgo.de">tmueller@sysgo.de</A>).</p>
<p>Send email to <i>tmueller@sysgo.de</i> (Thomas Mueller) or
<i>XFree86@XFree86.org</i> if you have comments or suggestions about
this file and we'll revise it.</p>
