The Good News:

I've added some new programs to the archives lately, namely:

XTEST	- the MIT X11R3 test and validation suite
Serpent	- the serpent window system from CMU
GWM	- a 'progammable' window manager (like emacs)

xdb, xcu, roids, gemstones and many more....

The Bad News

To make room for all of this I have had to delete R2.contrib and
X10.contrib from the archives. 

--------------------------
As usual download the file ~uucp/Xarchive/ls-lR.Z for full filenames
etc., the standard info follows:

ory and a copy of what can be found on expo/contrib and expo/pub.  The
expo directories will be updated roughly once a month.
