	Xtrek 6.0 beta is avaliable on expo.lcs.mit.edu as
contrib/xtrek.tar.Z. Patches to go from 6.0 alpha to 6.0 beta are in
contrib/xtrek.6.0a-6.0b.Z. This version fixes the following bugs :

	* floating exception bug found and fixed in robot code
	* ICCCM fix for OpenLook and other strict ICCCM wms
	* sanity checking for XSetFontPath failure on Sparc.

	* plus minor cleanup and reorganization

	If you aren't sure which version you have ...

	grep XTREK help.c

	Yes, we will be moving to patchlevels Real Soon Now :-) (with the
release of 6.0)

	Please - if you are on a Sparc or other SunOS 4.x machine, and
you still get the XSetFontPath failure - let us know. We no longer
have easy console access to a Sparc, so we cannot guarantee the code.

	As before, I'm offering to mail the code to sites without easy
access to ftp. Just send me mail ...

	Thanks.
