RE: confused with the new release

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

I got a very schedule for the next 2 weeks.  After that I am going to fix
this
24 bit issue.  It used to work for old XWin.exe.

Also, I am going to split xfree86-4.0.3-fonts.tar.bz2 archive into several
archives.
It will make it easier for modem download, and users can install only the
fonts
they need instead of forcing them to install all the 100 MB worth of fonts.

Harold.  Do you mind fixing your User Guide once again after splitted fonts
archive are
uploaded?
