No it didn't.  What the posting announced was a pre-compiled X11R4
server executable for the series 300 *and* 400.  This is mainly of
interest to people who have run the HP server from the MIT X11R4
distribution (where the HP device dependent bits aren't distributed in
source form either, which probably means that HP can give away better
code than they could if they gave away source), and thus grown
accustomed to the X11R4 extensions like SHAPE.  Those who run only HP
supplied X, Motif window manager only, etc, probably couldn't care
less.

If you are an UUNET customer, why don't you ask them to ftp the stuff
for you, and uucp it over to you?  I would expect them to do this kind
of service for a relatively small fee.
