Subject: Re: xfig and mwm problems ...

Message-ID: <40043514.9040900@purdue.edu> (raw)
No, I used a combination of sites at times including:
ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/cygwin/release/
ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/cygwin/release
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/release
I think the culprit came from
ftp://csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu/pub/cygwin/release/XFree86
I'll try what you suggested. Thank you!
