	Like most X11 code, it is free when ftp'ed from various X-ftp
sites around the nation. There is one in dec's system (it used to be
decwrl.com but that has changed recently) and also expo.lcs.mit.edu.
Included in the source is a driver for the Mac II.  Therefore, if you
are on the arpanet you can get it free... no guarantees on the speed
of the server, but it should work...

./server/ddx/macII

If you find any optimized "mi" code out there, please let me know (if
you think 8 plane X is slow, try 24).
