	I got my copy from a BBS. Turned out to cost me about $10 with a 
9600 baud modem. I'm not sure if the BBS will get you to the archive
site in Germany, but it might. Anyway details:


	The World BBS. Please find a full description in any UNIXPUB list.
	
	617 - 739 - 9753.
	
	Get your credit card handy. Cost $5.00 per month + $2.00 per hour.
	
	Once you get in, ftp gatekeeper.dec.com (go in as anonymous)
			 cd ~/pub/X11/contrib (I think)
			 get (binary) 386ix* /tmp/386ix* (or whatever)
			 bye
			 
			 sz 386ix*
			 
			 and wait for an hour or two.
			 
	I'm just a customer, but I think this is the way a REAL
	BBS should be just as UNIX is the way a REAL OS should be.
	(You get anything a fully networked sun has with access
	to Alter-net, Euronet, Near-net, plus... )


	Enjoy!
	
	Karl
