I note that these are available on uunet now, for most people in the US.
For those in Southern California, I have these two files (and the fonts)
available on piggy.ucsb.edu (128.111.72.50), in the directory /pub/X386.

For those of you still using the X server that came with your system, take a
chance and try this package out.  It really is a very good system, and you
will probably be surprised at many features, especially the ability to use
non-standard resolutions, and have virtual root window sizes larger than
displayed, and stored in your video card's extra memory.  It's a bit of work
to get things set up, but it is well worth it.

(By the way, are there people out there who would don't have ftp access that
would like to get this on QIC150 tape?  Send me mail)
