I understand.  We will look into your suggestions.
For your web help.  I uplaoded 4.0.3.  Can you ftp to sources.redhat.com
and get the directory structures, I am sure some of your links to ftp server
(xc-4-binaries) and (xc-4) directories are broken now.  I renamed a coupled
of
directories to better organize 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 releases.  We need to keep
4.0.2 because new release is X11R6.5.11 based while older is X11R6.4 based.

Can you please correct broken links, when you get time?  thanks for your
help.
