Thanks to Jeremy K.  I received the NTFAQ.ZIP and will check it
out.  Your return address did not come through so I send thanks
in this post.

By the way, I have not had any trouble with X crashing in Red Hat
5.0.  In the past, when I have had X problems, they always seemed
to do with the particular video card/Xserver.  The new Xfree86
seems to work very well with my Tseng Labs W32p at any resolution
up to the 1280x1024x256 limit, which is what I use mostly.  Cheers!
